[Postcard2] Acoustic Jazz

[Terry Smith]

IMO, the gold standard for acoustic jazz is still the David Grisman groups of the 70s, with Tony Rice and Mark O'Connor playing guitar at various times. When I lived in L.A in 78-80, I worked in a van conversion factory, and made friends with a black dude from East L.A. (his first name was Urban!). He was a big jazz fan but didn't know anything about bluegrass jazz. One day, I went over to his place and turned him onto the Dave Grisman Quintet album. He fricking loved the thing. Another victory for music as a great uniter! -- terry smith

I'd like to recommend The Telluride Sessions by Strength In Numbers.
It's probably about 20 years old now but worth looking for.
oh and the band: Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor, Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush and Edgar Meyer. if you dig acoustic jazz, this is it.
