Biography

The David Grisman Quartet is the primary musical vehicle for mandolinist David Grisman. Founded in 1975, the band has featured the talents of well over a dozen musicians in the decades since, including such seminal newgrass/new acoustic artists as Tony Rice, Mark O’Connor, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall and Rob Wasserman.The band’s music has been characterized as a mixture of bluegrass, jazz (particularly gypsy jazz and jazz fusion), while also including other elements of traditional folk musics and some of the spirit of late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s Bay Area rock. This unique musical blend is ofter referred to as “Dawg Music” after the nickname Jerry Garcia tagged Grisman with during their time in Old and In the Way, and as a result . Many of the band’s album and song titles incorporate Dawg-related puns.

    want the perferably the Music, or tab for swing 51, where can I find it? (right now!)The David Grisman Quintet, One of the best albums I've listened to in a long long time, every tune is a real pleasure to hear. My older and unpracticed ears however are not hearing the changes. Give me a break and get me something to look at. Thanks JC
