I've heard this entire recording and it's a 10 in my book. Terrific playing all around. Man, Sam Grisman is a real cat on bass. Look out!

Highly recommended for string jazz lovers.

This should be wonderful. Martin Taylor is pure genius - as anyone who toured for years with Stephane Grappelli would have to be. I saw him play live at a concert venue in Scotland a few years ago. One man, one guitar - and an entire audience eating out of his hands. Superb guitarist.

Anyone unfamiliar with his work might want to look up his Spirit of Django (http://www.amazon.com/Spirit-Django-Martin-Taylor/dp/B00000399O/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1351312023&sr=1-1&keywords=Martin+Taylor+the+spirit+of+django) CD. I really look forward to hearing him playing with Grisman & Co.

Is there a way to tell Martin Taylor from Frank Vignola? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I can tell Grisman because he plays mandolin but I wonder who I'm hearing when it's a guitar solo. Any ideas on how they organize their rounds? Both Taylor and Vignola are so versatile, I don't know who's who.
