While mandolin master
David Grisman and the equally talented guitarist
Tony Rice may be better known in the world of
bluegrass,
jazz fans need to check out
Tone Poems, an excellent collection of mandolin/guitar duets, performed with different vintage instruments on each track. The improvising by both men is never less than brilliant, transforming
traditional folk tunes like
"Grandfather's Clock" and
"I Am a Pilgrim," plus the unlikely
"O Solo Mio," into masterpieces. The lone track that's very familiar to
jazz listeners is
"Swing '42," played very convincingly by two men who are well-versed in
jazz even if they don't play it exclusively.
