Mike Marshall and Jovino Santos Neto "The Music of Hermeto Pascoal: Serenata" is a great album of mando piano duets.

Sounds good.

Yes, Deep Forbidden Lake features acoustic mandolin. It includes tunes by Django, Neil Young, Ornette Coleman, Horace Silver, Tom Waites and others. There's a very favorable review on the jazzmando website.

Unless I'm remembering wrong, Ricky Scaggs didn't play on Django Latino, but it's a *brilliant* record.

Man oh man, my friend and i are coming up with a piano and mandolin version of "Ode to Joy" (Beethoven) that is getting mighty pretty! I think i may call it The Joy of Mandolin.

Mike Marshall's Gator Strut has Barbara Higbie
on piano on a few cuts. There is also som
mandolin (both by him and Anger) on
Higbie-Angers' wonderful Tideline album

I got the Gypsy Mandolin, BTW, from the link posted above (Smithsonian Folkways). It's interesting, it's a one-off copy of the CD (must be out of print). You also get a xerox of the liner notes.

I don't know what's with that CD. If you just think of the selections, it's definitely Schmaltz... but the artistry is so good, that it's a joy to listen to. Very good.
