 Vassar Clements
Clements' next recording with the Little Big Band will be pure swing classics like "King Porter Stomp" and "String of Pearls." Four horns versus one fiddle?
"They like to play that Grateful Dead style." Clements himself played with the Dead on the song "Wake of the Flood" and with Jerry Garcia in the band Old and In the Way.
Then Clements went solo with Hillbilly Jazz, a double album that launched the Flying Fish label.

Vassar Clements is a most wonderful fiddler, a senior southern gentleman who has played on more than 2,000 albums with musicians from an immense array of styles.
Hansen's favorite guitar amplifier was once owned by Clements, and when Archie told him so, Vassar said he'd wondered what happened to that amp.
They can make much fun and great music between their songs and stories.

 Vassar Clements, Full Circle (OMS, 2002)
I'll admit that I approached this album with some trepidation after seeing and even listening to the first track, Cream's psychedelic power anthem, "White Room." It just doesn't work as bluegrass for me. But I have to admit that the fiddling and picking on it, as on the rest of this CD, is first-rate.
The two Beatles songs are a bit obvious.
It's only the No. 1 most covered Beatles song, and probably their hit that is least representative of what they were all about.

 The Band
Vassar Clements ' Little Big Band.) Now professor emeritus, he has been on the faculty of the University of Illinois School of Music since 1970, where he performed as clarinetist and conductor of the UI Contemporary Chamber Players and New Music Ensemble, and from time to time conducted the university orchestra and wind ensemble.
I do some recording and performing with Vassar as well as an improvisational rock band called Sylvester.
Brian also plays acoustic bass with Vassar Clements and the Little Big Band, in a jazz trio with his dad, in Pomeroy's Bass Orchestra, and he does studio sessions on bass and cello.

 DooDah Review: Vassar Clements - "Grass Routes"
He started out with Bill Monroe, was one of the real highlights of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" album, and has been involved in all-star projects from Hillbilly Jazz to Old and In The Way.
Two of the songs are sung by Clements, whose husky voice is quite serviceable and in fact sounds just right for "Come on Home".
The remainder of the 12 tracks are instrumentals, 6 out of 7 written by Clements.

 Country Standard Time: CD Review: Vassar Clements
His solo on "Your Love Is Like a Flower" alone warrants purchase of this album as he turns Skaggs' sleepy vocal into a memory with a clean, surprising flurry of notes that seamlessly encompass jazz, bluegrass, and innumerable traditional styles.
Built on a foundation of camaraderie, mutual respect, and a shared love of timeless tunes, this wonderful album is a refreshing collaboration and a jewel in each man's esteemed catalogs.
The 73-year-old is such a remarkable creative mind that he can withstand every ham-fisted super-session cliché that the producers throw at him and still make it sound musical, uplifting and honest.

 Vassar Clements - Biography
During this time, one of the most important milestones in his career, was his participation on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's 1972 Landmark album 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken".
Within a few short months, Vassar was recording and/or performing with Dicky Betts, Jerry Garcia, The Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers, Linda Ronstadt, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, David Grisman, Paul McCartney et al.
I always loved rhythm so I guess in the back of my mind the swing and jazz subconsciously comes out when I play, because when I was learning I was always trying to emulate the big band sounds I heard on my fiddle.

 Vassar Clements by Vassar Clements
Another Clements album entitled Hillbilly Jazz would follow in due course so this connection is not simply wishful thinking on the part of hipsters.
If you are a MP3.com member you can set a preferred service to instantly tell if that music service has this album.
While there are actually a few vocals here and there, it hardly detracts from an instrumental emphasis in which arranger Millie Clements' combination of acoustic old-timey and more modernistic electric elements is simply perfect.

Vassar continues to tour and record with his own band and as a feature artist with many other top performers.
He has performed on more than 4,000 recordings with acts as diverse as John Hartford, David Grisman, The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead and The Boston Pops.

 For the Record
For decades Vassar has added his magical touch to recordings by a diverse musical "Who’s Who"—Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, John Hartford, the Grateful Dead, Linda Ronstadt, the Allman Brothers Band, Bonnie Raitt and Paul McCartney among many others.
Acoustic Disc proudly delivers Livin’ With The Blues, the first ever blues album from award winning fiddler supreme, Vassar Clements.
While Vassar Clements has often been considered the ‘bluesiest’ of the bluegrass fiddlers, it wasn’t until producer Grisman asked him what kind of record he wanted to make, that the soft spoken septuagenarian replied "I’ve always wanted to make a blues record."
http://www.mandozine.com/recordings/fortherecord/vassar.php

  
 Vassar Clements
Vassar says that many of the tunes he writes or passages he’ll fly into in a solo come from half remembered horn lines deep in his musical memory.
David Grisman& Acoustic Disc Records put out 2 more volumes of Old and In the Way in the late 90s (culled from live recordings in 1973) that many consider far superior to the original Arista release, they’re called Breakdown and That High Lonesome Sound.
He grew up listening to big band and Dixieland, and still listens to a lot of it today.

 Vassar Clements: Livin’ With the Blues
Those tracks featuring voices other than those conjured by Vassar’s bow are the albums low points, for the most part.
Vassar adopts these songs, long since orphaned by their fathers and brings them home to make them his own.
The Robert Johnson and Tampa Red songs seem to be delivered in a more genuine fashion, and better vehicles for Clements talents.

Playing with the who's who of bluegrass landed Clements in a watershed recording session in 1972, when he was asked to participate in the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's landmark May The Circle Be Unbroken project.
This exposure led Clements to back up musical luminaries outside the world of bluegrass such as Jerry Garcia, Paul McCartney, The Allman Brothers, Linda Ronstadt and many others.

 Reviews of 101 Dalmations Interactive CD, Better Than Ezra Friction, Baby, Squeeze Picadilly Collection, and Vassar ...
Vassar's willingness to be part of the band (not the star) is evident on Vassar's Jazz, as he fronts an able four-piece combo (piano, bass, drums, and guitar).
During his 50-year recording career, the maestro has appeared on more than 2,000 albums, including 27 discs released in his own name.
More jazz-oriented than the recordings by contemporary fiddle wizard Mark O'Connor, Vassar still has a little country in him, as displayed on such cuts as "Mixed Melody." Fiddle-playing fans will flock to this release.

 Saturday Night Shuffle - A Celebration of Merle Travis - The Man And His Music - January 1998
The first time I ever heard Vassar Clements play fiddle was on some old bluegrass albums.
Back when Lester Flatt died, I decided I wanted to branch out in music, and I heard Vassar was looking for an electric guitar player.
So if Vassar calls and says 'Let's make a record that pays tribute to Merle,' everybody shows up!

 Amazon.com: Music: Full Circle [ENHANCED]
But even when Clements is exploring acoustic psychedelia, as he does on "White Room," or giving the Beatles ' classic "Yesterday" a bluegrass makeover, his playing is full of down-home charm.
Because of Vassar's status in the bluegrass community he was able to bring in the cream of the crop to play on his CD, including Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, JD Crowe, Peter Rowan, Alan O'Bryant, John Cowan, Jess McReynolds and Bryan Sutton.
And when he plays an old bluegrass number like "Your Love Is Like a Flower," which includes lead vocals by Ricky Skaggs, or joins Jim and Jesse McReynolds on their classic tune "Hard Hearted," it's a reminder that he is one of the most inspired country fiddlers to ever draw a bow.

 Tim O'Brien - Welcome
I've never met Vasser Clements, but he played on two of the records that really got me fired up about the possibilities of acoustic music- One was called "Hillbilly Jazz" which is still available from Rounder/Flying Fish.
Vassar came out and played with Sam's band, and Sam swapped instruments with him- he made Vassar play the mandocaster!
Fact is, that was my first exposure to live bluegrass music.

 FAME Review: Northern Lights and Vassar Clements - Three August Nights Live
The common thread between those two albums, as well as this one, Three August Nights Live, is fiddling legend and former Blue Grass Boy, Vassar Clements.
Northern Lights is a band which has developed a huge following over the past 20 years, both in their New England home and throughout the US.
They led to explorations by other musicians who desired to learn and play this music with yet others.
