Music reviews of The David Grisman Quintet
Music Review: By Definition, A Classic Album
Rating: 5 Stars
The definition of "classic" in Webster's on-line dictionary is, "serving as a standard of excellence". To say simply that this is a great album, or a great bluegrass album, almost misses the point. It is a node in the History of Music that changed the way other influential musicians thought, composed and played. Not that the effects were immediately felt. It could be argued that the influence of this album is more profound today, over 30 years later, than it was on the music made immediately after it. That's how far ahead of its time it was. It is the point of impact made by a visionary musician and composer, David Griman, on generations of musicians to follow him and musicians yet to be. That doesn't mean you'll like it. It is challenging, sometimes pretty, but always dynamic and striving. However, if you care about acoustic music, whether it's folk, bluegrass, classical or jazz, and you are looking for a challenge, it is required listening.
Description of The David Grisman Quintet
A string band pilgrim who had already soldiered through bluegrass, folk, and rock, mandolinist David Grisman helped jump start a new chapter in instrumental music with the release of this 1977 album, carving out a jubilant acoustic style borrowing equally from Bill Monroe's bluegrass legacy and Django Reinhardt's '30s swing as immortalized by his Quintet of the Hot Club of France. Grisman's band, including violinist Darol Anger and multi-instrumentalist Mike Marshall, bring jaunty lyricism to a set that introduces this hybrid fully- formed. Grisman would continue to explore its boundaries with various lineups (including collaborations with the peerless Stephane Grappelli, violinist for the original Hot Club), but he would never improve on the music here. --Sam SutherlandGeneral CDs
