NEW RIVER DELUXE EDITION

David Grisman & Denny Zeitlin

Piano legend Denny Zeitlin's (composer of the jazz classic, “Quiet Now” recorded by Bill Evans and others) keyboard virtuosity meets the inspired groove of David Grisman's mandolin on this ground-breaking Acoustic Disc collaboration. This sonically spectacular and musically exciting project showcases mandolin/piano duets as they have never been heard before.

New River presents nine original compositions by two American masters in their first studio recordings together. Latin rhythms abound on Zeitlin's "Brazilian Street Dance," funk is taken to a new place on Grisman's "Dawg Funk," and the two combine compositional strategies on the sensual "DG/DZ Blues." Zeitlin's highly improvisational "On the March", soothingly pastoral "New River" and Dawg's grassy "14 Miles to Barstow," jazzy "Blue Midnite," and "Waltz for Gigi" are given new ear-turning treatments by their interacting authors. Recorded "live" to 2-track analog, New River is yet another example of Acoustic Disc's exceptional sound quality and musical excellence. This Deluxe Edition of New River includes three additional bonus tracks and was remastered in the Hi-Definition (24-bit, 96 kHz) format.
