Music reviews of Tone Poems III: The Sounds of the Great Slide & Resophonic Instruments
Music Review: Great performances, great recording, great package
Rating: 4 Stars
I came to this recording having never heard of Dave Grisman or Mike Auldridge (apologies, guys!). But I did know and admire Bob Brozman's other blues-based National guitar work, and I knew that Grisman had recorded "Tone Poems II" with Martin Taylor, whom I regard as the finest jazz guitarist in the world today. So, if Grisman was knocking about with the likes of Brozman and Taylor, I thought, he must have something going for him. And what a find this album proved to be! This is such good value for money, other record companies should be embarrassed about some of their offerings. The three musicians here are clearly masters of their instruments and the arrangements and interactions between them are sparkling and breath-taking. One topic that doesnt often feature in Amazon reviews is the actual recording quality itself. Be aware, you wont settle for muddy, poor definition recordings ever again after youve heard this. This CD is without doubt top-notch hi-fi demonstration quality - on a good system they are right there in the room with you. The dynamics of strings being plucked and fingers sliding over frets add to an incredibly believable ambience. And the fantastic information, illustrations and details provided in the thick CD booklet about each track make for a fascinating read each time you settle down with this album. Different instruments from a variety of manufacturers, vintages and styles have been used on almost every track, and the booklet explains why they were built the way they are and why they were chosen. You can follow the development of the instruments over the years along with the music that is played on them. What I have found most suprising is that this album was a real step out of line for me. I have no other Hawaiian guitar recordings, and I *definitely* would not call myself a country or bluegrass fan. The only mandolins I had heard before were in Vivaldi concertos! But thanks to these recordings I've found myself intrigued by styles of music I would previously have regarded as of no interest to me. I dont think you can offer higher praise of a musician than that he changed your listening patterns. The only trouble is, Im now scared to venture too far in buying other albums of these styles in case theyre not as good! This is the kind of dilemma everyone should have.
