Missing Man Quartet... Gotta love those cerebral band-name jokes!
Something about the greater Golden Gate City nest seems to incubate and encourage the growth and broad-based expansion of mandolin, the ground zero of such mando heroes as David Grisman and Mike Marshall. The Missing Man Quartet is a new ensemble, one of the rare groups on the west coast that regularly features mandolin in a straight ahead jazz context. The group plays a mix of jazz ranging from swing, bebop to post-bop mostly drawn from the 30's through the 60's. In addition to Tom, the group features Steve Gallagher on electric guitar and Craig Griffeath on electric bass.
