Song: St. Louis Blues
Mandolinist David Grisman has always worked to expand the possibilities of his instrument. From his early traditional mandolin work with the Even Dozen Jug Band, Grisman went on to explore psychedelic rock, jazz, Latin music and any other musical form that came his way. Though he's perhaps best known for his "Dawg Music" fusion, we find him here doing a jazz classic with two great resophonic slide guitarists, Bob Brozman and Mike Auldridge. The resonator guitar used in bluegrass is called the Dobro, and Auldridge has been an acknowledged master of that instrument since his early days with the progressive bluegrass band The Seldom Scene. The immensely talented Brozman has never been pigeonholed into any particular musical genre, so suffice it to say that he's one of the greatest living resophonic guitarists. It adds up to three masters having a great time with one of the oldest jazz songs in the book.
