Thanks for posting that DC! I love Eddy's playing. I came across a great version of Yardbird Suite that he plays and adapted portions as an introduction to the tune. I can't play it as good as Eddy...

Taking Des's advice and diving in. Here is my submission. I was also enjoying listening to a version by Sonny Stitt Featuring Bobby Timmons (they play it in Eb). He plays what sounds to me like a...
Nice take Michael!! I love your tone and even if you are learning the language you seem relaxed in your playing. Nice work!
I have been listening to a version I found by Donald Byrd. I think the...

Thanks, Larry
Aaron you are amazing. Thanks for sharing your music!
Nice one Pete.! Did I hear a small Perdido snippet at around one minute?
David, great version. I'm always struck by the Jethro sound in your playing. You sound great!
I took a Gypsy Jazz...
I love this tune. Here is my submission. Happy Spring!

Thanks, Larry
Here is my submission. This was a tough one. I thought I could learn through osmosis and listening to all of the great recordings out there but it did not seem to work. I had to put in some practice...
Hi Michael,
The first tune on the Mad Toast Live video is "Life Itself". A Don Stiernberg original tune from the album Mandoboppin.

Hi Alex,
There are some interesting notes on the sessions from David Grisman in Mandolin World News Vol. IV No. IV along with a transcription of the head and Jethro's Solo on Swing 39 by Don...
Hi Bruce, I bet that Monk show was great! I don't think anyone would be as impressed by me dancing next to my mandolin, but as you and Pete emphasized rests can make what you do play more impactful...
Nice work Pete!!! I love your use of space in the first chorus solo and the chords in the head and last chorus solo. Nice voicings and great cut.
Nice!
Nice Dave, you and the Collings both sound good!
Here is my contribution. I agree with David and Alex. I like the horn keys too. I played it in Bb since I had also been playing around with Charles Mingus's Prayer Passive Resistance lately. I added...
I love the Superbass version of Mack the Knife (Instrumental) I have never been fond of the vocal versions either. With Ray Brown, Christian McBride, and John Clayton it seems more like a vehicle for...
Nice Tom! I love the Hackensack take. I also listened to a few others you had posted. I dig the solo All Blues and Nardis, pretty amazing chord melody. I would love to hear your version of Search for...
Here is a take I recorded. I successfully threw in a lick from Don's Tune #3 on Soundslice: Crafting jazzier solo lines on mandolin (https://www.soundslice.com/courses/247/).
I tried to throw in a...
Here is the Basie version:

It lead me to another Basie/ Charlie Christian track, leading back to Crisscross's contribution.

Here is a take I put together with the backing track. It's a great tune. I had to go back and listen to the Count Basie and the Kansas City Seven version. I have always loved how Basie plays on this...
There are some good Gypsy Jazz play alongs on Stephane Wremble's site. You can probably find some of the tunes tabbed out on Mandozine. You will need to get tefview or tabledit to view the files on...

I just noticed that Don's 1983 CD has been rereleased by acoustic disc on livedownloads.com. I'm still downloading it but I am definitely excited to get to hear material that is new to me by one of...
