DAWGANOVA

David Grisman Quintet

This time, Dawg music goes south of the border with a collection generously infused with infectious Latin rhythms and melodies inspired by the addition of Argentine guitar master, Enrique Coria, in 1993. Dawganova also features Jim Kerwin (bass), Joe Craven (violin, percussion), and Matt Eakle (flute, bass flute). Former DGQ guitarist Tony Rice called this band "the best ever!"

Grisman and company offer up five Dawg originals; the title cut "Dawganova," "April's Wedding Bossa," and new interpretations of "Barkley's Bug," "Caliente," and "Brazilian Breeze." Fiery renditions of the Latin standards "Tico Tico”, "El Cumbanchero”, the sensuous "Manha de Carnaval" and a haunting interpretation of the Nat "King" Cole classic "Nature Boy" round out this unique chapter in the evolving story of American string band music.
