David Grisman: New Jazz Tracks w/ Martin Taylor, Frank Vignola

DAVID GRISMAN TEAMS WITH MARTIN TAYLOR AND
FRANK VIGNOLA FOR FIRST TIME TOGETHER!

Award-winning mandolinist and music producer David Grisman announced today the HD release of First Time Together! featuring Martin Taylor (guitar), Frank Vignola (guitar), Samson Grisman (bass) and of course, the Dawg himself on mandolin. In one day-long session, this brand new quartet recorded a dozen tunes. The repertoire spans the Great American Songbook with showtunes like “Surrey With The Fringe On Top,” standards like “Avalon” and “Poinciana,” as well as originals by Taylor, (“Serafina,”) Dawg (“Swang Thang”) and Lennon-McCartney (“Michelle.”)

This marks the first time these music tycoons have recorded together. Taylor, Vignola and the Dawg share equal billing in conveying the melodies of these American classics known for his solo techniques while bassist Samson Grisman tastefully provides firm and artful foundations. The playing is relaxed and natural, with all four of the musicians producing stellar sounds. The HD recording is a sonic delight for fans of jazzgrass and acoustic music.

This unique collection of tunes is available for download now at AcousticOasis.com, Grisman’s digital distribution arm of his Acoustic Disc label, which he founded in 1990.
