Songs of our Fathers

This one download from soulseek.

Andy Statman: mandolin, clarinet, mando-cello
David Grisman: mandolin, mandola, octave mandolin
Enrique Coria: guitar
Zachariah Spellman: tuba
Jim Kerwin: bass
Edgar Meyer: arco bass
Hal Blaine: drums and percussion


Okay. Sometimes there is a place for the old melodies. There are times when what one wants is a soulful, quietly brilliant playing. These are traditional melodies played by two brilliant musicians. In funny ways, the modern accoustic sensibilities represented by Grisman and Statman also transform these songs for our times. This is the album for when you want to listen to quiet beauty with a healthy pinch of yiddishkeit.
