Notes: “I've had a musical love affair with bluegrass music for over 50 years now,” David Grisman told me during a recent interview. “I also have my own concept of what bluegrass music is, and perhaps what people now refer to as that particular genre may be completely different than my definition, which would be the music created by Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Chubby Wise and other "first generation" musicians — the Stanley Brothers, Reno & Smiley, Jim & Jesse, Jimmy Martin and the Osborne Brothers.”
Nevertheless, the legendary mandolin player has some reservations about how the genre seems to have strayed from its seminal style. “Recordings, live performances, and the ever evolving exposure process (from television to the internet) has certainly attracted more listeners, but what are they really listening to? Not ‘Molly and Tenbrooks’ by Bill Monroe or ‘Little Glass of Wine’ by the Stanley Brothers or ‘Someday We'll Meet Again Sweetheart’ by Flatt & Scruggs or countless other bluegrass masterpieces from the ‘golden era’ I'm afraid.”
Not surprisingly, Grisman is a purist when it comes to his particular passion. “Bluegrass is a perfect blend of many influences and innovations, which should be extremely appealing to any music lover,” he suggests. “Instrumentally you have the amazing 5-string banjo style of Earl Scruggs, combined with several unique approaches to mandolin playing developed by Bill Monroe, Bobby Osborne and Jesse McReynolds, plus the smooth bluesy fiddling of Chubby Wise and Vassar Clements, as well as numerous approaches to vocal harmonies which evolved from the Carter Family, the Monroe Brothers and others to the classic bluegrass artists of the first, second and even third generation. Then you have the songs themselves, many of which are grounded in the traditional folk music of England, Ireland and Scotland. Add a bit of swing, blues and country and you have a pretty heady musical brew.”
Grisman’s touting a forthcoming release recording from the David Grisman Bluegrass Experience), entitled Muddy Roads - Old-time Music of Clarence Ashley & Doc Watson, as well as a deluxe remastered edition of Doc & Dawg with many alternate previously-unissued tracks and a live recording from his archives, Doc & Dawg - Live in Watsonville (California.) In October, Grisman will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Old & in the Way with the complete Boarding House Tapes, from which all three of the band’s original releases were extracted. These albums and others can be found at AcousticOasis.com.
