| | Grisman, who originated a hybrid of acoustic bluegrass, folk and jazz called “dawg music,” shares similarities with the genre-bending OSFT. | | | Bass player Darrell Muller agrees their band owes a lot to Grisman’s “dawg music,” which Muller describes as “a style of acoustic music that incorporates gypsy jazz, bluegrass and Latin.” But unlike Grisman’s work, half of their material is vocal. | | | Offering his approval in no uncertain terms, mandolin legend David Grisman has signed the band to his label Acoustic Disc. |

| | Grisman's mandolin is in the forefront of each song's mix, and we even find David providing vocal parts on over half of the 15 cuts on this one-hour project. | | | The fact that we suffer means that we are alive, and traditional bluegrass music lovers know that listening to songs about anguish and misery often have the paradoxical effect of providing uplifiting experiences and inspiration. | | | The CD comes with a 20-page insert that includes lyrics and Grisman's notes about each song, as well as some personal reflections about his musical friends. |

| | David Grisman: Carrying the torch by Seth Rogovoy |
| | Grisman has slowly been releasing this material on his own label, Acoustic Disc www.dawgnet.com, to a public hungry for more music by Garcia. | | | Grisman met Jerry Garcia in 1964 at a Bill Monroe show in West Grove, Penn. "We were both out of the same musical milieu, and we struck up a friendship and stayed in touch at various points and interacted musically," said Grisman. | | | A self-described "misfit" and "non-comformist" who grew up in Passaic, N.J., Grisman was a fan of early rock 'n' roll when it was "a new form of music being created right on the radio by the masters of the idiom," he said. |

| | Freight and Salvage: David Grisman Bluegrass Experience |
| | A brilliant mandolinist famous for forging his own musical path in his own inimitable way, David Grisman has been associated with bluegrass ever since his got his first job as a mandolin picker back in 1964 with Red Allen and the Kentuckians. | | | An ardent innovator, David soon gave the genre his own personal spin in the form of "dawg" music, a unique, highly intricate, harmonically advanced hybrid of so many different stylistic influences (swing, bluegrass, Latin, jazz, gypsy) that he had to invent a name for it. | | | In addition to his own renowned groups like Old and In the Way and the David Grisman Quintet, David has recorded with everyone from the Grateful Dead to Stephane Grapelli to Bonnie Raitt, and made more than 40 recordings (most recently a holiday-themed album, David Grisman's Acoustic Christmas), including five Grammy nominees. |

| | A remarkable intimacy--seldom found even in the plethora of "unplugged" sessions--marks all of Grisman's Acoustic Disc releases. | | | The secret of that success is the very nature of Grisman's basement studio, which has played host to bluegrass legends from Red Allen to Doc Watson. | | | Three weeks before his death, Garcia called one last time on Grisman to produce a track for the upcoming Bob Dylan tribute to singing brakeman Jimmie Rogers in what proved to be Garcia's last recording session. |
