	David Grisman: Carrying the torch by Seth Rogovoy
		It was at one of these shows where Grisman met a like-minded, aspiring musician who was to become a lifelong friend and musical partner, and whose own ascending star would exert enough gravitational pull on Grisman to allow him to pursue his own muse with little regard to commercial trends.
		Grisman met Jerry Garcia in 1964 at a Bill Monroe show in West Grove, Penn. "We were both out of the same musical milieu, and we struck up a friendship and stayed in touch at various points and interacted musically," said Grisman.
		Grisman has slowly been releasing this material on his own label, Acoustic Disc www.dawgnet.com, to a public hungry for more music by Garcia.

	Style Weekly in Richmond, Virginia
		Grisman, who originated a hybrid of acoustic bluegrass, folk and jazz called “dawg music,” shares similarities with the genre-bending OSFT.
		Bass player Darrell Muller agrees their band owes a lot to Grisman’s “dawg music,” which Muller describes as “a style of acoustic music that incorporates gypsy jazz, bluegrass and Latin.” But unlike Grisman’s work, half of their material is vocal.
		For meals, Grisman would take them to his favorite haunts, where according to vocalist Harper, they “had the best food ever!” But Harper might be a little star-struck, considering that an early meal, likely a vegetarian burrito, gave him food poisoning and landed him in the hospital for two days.

		Grisman's mandolin is in the forefront of each song's mix, and we even find David providing vocal parts on over half of the 15 cuts on this one-hour project.

		David Grisman first heard bluegrass music in the late 1950s when he was a high school student in New Jersey.
		The David Grisman Quintet pioneered an accessible and improvisational style that was the meeting ground for traditional country fiddle tunes and bluegrass, the Gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli, swing, klezmer, Latin music, classical, and more.
		It was 30 years ago this year that David Grisman launched what the Chicago Tribune described as “one of the most important innovations in American music…and lifted it to the level of high art.” And to think his high school music teacher said the mandolin wasn’t even a “real” musical instrument.

		David Grisman is a master of the mandolin, and his covers are refreshing renditions of previously recorded tunes.

	MetroActive Music \| David Grisman
		The year was 1960 and Grisman, a 16-year-old high school student, dumped several cardboard boxes filled with once-treasured 78s by Elvis, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis--platters that had lost their luster in the eye of the budding bluegrass fan.
		Back in Passaic, N.J., Grisman and two classmates, charter members of their high school folk-music club, whiled away the hours huddled around an old FM radio, listening intently to the "Oscar Brand Show" and marveling at the speedy three-fingered picking style of banjo player Roger Sprung.
		All owe a debt of gratitude to Grisman's adventurous stylings and are, to paraphrase music writer Larry King, the vanguard of rugged individualists marching into the vicissitudes of mass culture with their heads and mandolins held high.

		Grisman's music was greatly influenced by Reinhardt and Grappelli and the old Hot Club of France, and this CD represents a kind of tribute to those great pioneers of acoustic swing music --- but it's much more than just a nostalgic nod to the past.
		Grisman and Grappelli sound as if they'd been playing together for years, and the respect they have for each other is obvious throughout the entire set.
		It's not an exaggeration to say that Grappelli and Grisman are two of the very best and most innovative musicians (especially on acoustic string instruments) of the 20th century, and it's a real treat to get to hear them play together on this recording.
