Greatful Dawg; Jerry Garcia & Dave Grisman


An a-gon search indicates Garcia/Grisman has been mentioned before, but I caught the video "Grateful Dawg" last night on ovtv..wow..amazing music. I'm more of a straight-ahead jazz type, although I've been focusing on various acoustic music selections lately.

If you haven't seen the video, it's worth pursuing. If you haven't checked the Garcia/Grisman collaborations...do yourself a favor & do so. I only hope the CDs are as good sonically as the music itself.

Here's a list of joint ventures:

Garcia_Grisman

I just ordered "So What", "Grisman & Garcia", and "The Pizza Tapes".

I agree with "So What." It's awesome. Also, in addition to these other suggestions, check out "Shady Grove".....beautiful tunes recorded incredibly well.
Another CD or LP worth searching out is Gator Strut by Mike Marshall. He played with Grisman in the past and has a similar style but as AMG describes the music on this CD ... progressive bluegrass! An interesting CD with Fleck, Rice, Douglas, Wasserman and Grisman all contributing. I own the LP but I imagine the CD is easier to find and I think has been reissued by MFSL.
All good and in my collection.
But, ya'll MUST have John Reischmann's, North of The Border. Jazz, Latin, Bluegrass with tons of soul and fire.
I am happy to mail a couple of tracks, just to turn you on to this great Mandolin player.
A must have!!!

The Pizza Tapes are fantastic. If you haven't heard the story behind the name:

Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live is also great.
