Mandolin Mondays #92 w/ Special Guest Jason Anick

Rate this Entry
Mandolin Mondays #92: Jazz mandolin virtuoso, Jason Anick joins Mandolin Mondays this week with a beautiful original composition on his incredible 5-string "jazzbo" electric mandolin from Paul Lestock.



Based in Boston, Jason Anick is taking the jazz world by storm with his progressive and tasteful violin and mandolin playing. He's one of the youngest people to ever teach at the Berklee College of music. When he's not teaching he's out on the road as front man for the acclaimed gypsy jazz band, Future Rhythm Quartet. Their new record, Travels, features a host of original tunes and creative covers that push the preconceived boundaries of the genre. Check it out here: https://jasonanick.bandcamp.com/album/travels

The composition in this video is an original piece written in honor of the great mandolinist John McGann, head of the American Roots program at the Berklee College of Music.

    Thanks to Jason for the tribute to John McGann; IMHO there's not enough of that, since he was a major contributor to developing roots music at Berklee. However, John's position at Berklee was Associate Professor of Strings.
