BYE BYE BLUES - DELUXE EDITION

Kenneth "Jethro" Burns

Bye Bye Blues is the second volume of mandolin genius Jethro Burns' last recordings. A companion to Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin, this set features 22 tracks of classic swing and jazz standards that Jethro recorded with guitarist Don Stiernberg during the last two years of his life.
"Up a Lazy River," "Mood Indigo," "California Here I Come," "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" and the title track are some of the familiar tunes on Bye Bye Blues. But all the music is vintage Jethro — chorus after chorus of swinging lines interspersed with the amazing chord-melody technique Jethro invented for solo mandolin. "Jethro was not just a great mandolin player," writes Don Stiernberg in his opening notes, "he was the greatest mandolin player of his time, and by bringing jazz to the mandolin, he provided a crucial contribution to the instrument's history.”

"Jethro's contribution to mandolin playing has been enormous. He was a great entertainer, a great musican and a real pioneer in American string music. As a friend and guru to all mandolinists, he stretched our fingers and our minds, and most importantly, taught us all to laugh at ourselves. He's the only mandolin picker with the timing of both Count Basie and Jack Benny." — David Grisman

This Deluxe Edition, in the High-Definition (24 bit, 96 khz) format, also contains rare unpublished photos, an interview with this mandolin giant and four previously unissued alternate takes.
