5.0 out of 5 stars David Grisman, Jazzman, August 26, 2001

New River shouldn't suprise David Grisman fans - we KNOW that the Dawg is more than bluegrass, but it might suprise people who have avoided Dawg because of his bluegrass roots. New River is an hour of jazzy duets between David Grisman on mandolin and Denny Zeitlin, veteran jazzman, on piano. The two play each others original compositions and one that they cowrote. I don't want to label the sound too much, because I want you to have a listen and make up your own mind, but the music on New River shares a place in the same musical universe with the jazzier work of Bela Fleck. I enjoy the interplay of the two instruments on this album and I know I'll be taking the journey down New River many times in the future.

New River shouldn't suprise Denny Zeitlin fans either - we KNOW that the pianist has conquered many different styles of music and particularly JAZZ! He composed a major movie soundtrack,Invasion of the Body Snatchers, played acoustic to electronic and mastered the DUO format which is displayed here. New River is an hour of jazzy duets(ie. creative improv) between David Grisman on mandolin and Denny Zeitlin, on piano. Denny Zeitlin has also displayed his solo piano skills on Live at Maybeck Recital Hall, Vol. 27; Homecoming; Solo Voyage. Denny Zeitlin has also displayed his piano skills in a trio format on Denny Zeitlin Trio in Concert Featuring; Trio; Slickrock. Denny Zeitlin has also displayed his piano skills in another DUO format, with David Freisen on an acoustic double bass, Live at Jazz Bakery; Concord Duo Series, Vol. 8;In Concert. All of Denny Zeitlin's CDs are highly recommended!
