David Grisman - Hot Dawg 1979

Stephane Grappelli(violin) joins David Grisman (mandolin), Tony Rice (one of the most talented acoustic guitarists since the great Django himself), and Mike Marshall (2nd mandolin) on an incredible session of great music

As the spearhead of a West Coast school of instrumental music that drew equally from bluegrass and jazz (particularly the European and Gypsy tinged string jazz of Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grapelli, and their Quintet of the Hot Club of France), mandolinist David Grisman founded a musical dynasty. Like those of other bandleaders from Bill Monroe to Miles Davis, Grisman's bands have served as a finishing school, and many alumni have gone on to forge solo careers of their own.

There is therefore a nice symmetry to the personnel on HOT DAWG. The album maintains an organic feel. As the title (a play on Grisman's nickname) implies, the material leans towards the jazz end of the jazz/bluegrass continuum.
