Editorial Reviews

Review by Scott Yanow Throughout his career, mandolinist David Grisman has performed music that crosses between many boundaries, from "new acoustic" folk to bluegrass and swing-oriented jazz. This set features Grisman's string group (which also includes violinist Darol Anger, Mike Marshall on mandolin, guitar and violin, Mark O'Connor on violin and guitar, and bassist Rob Wasserman) playing six of Grisman's diverse originals, an obscure tune, and a brief rendition of John Coltrane's "Naima." The music is excellent, but Grisman's more jazz-oriented projects would be in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums ever!, February 13, 2009

With out any doubt, this is David Grisman's greatest collaboration... It is one of my favorite albums of all time. The music is timeless and uplifting. The musicianship is incredible, the cohesion of the group is amazing, and the song selections are great. The fact that this LP has never made it to CD is unbelievable.

This is my favorite LP.

It's famous and excellent music,but isn't sold by the form of CD.

I don't know the reason why.

Anyway,I highly recommend this music(David Grisman's DAWG music) for everyone.

I know this album exists in CD format in Heaven, but will they ever release it in this world, preferably in my lifetime? In the meantime we have vinyl! I`m not getting any younger, Warner Bros! Please forgive David Grisman, and release this in CD for for the sake of the betterment of the human race!
