WEEKLY SPECIAL

Acoustic Disc is now offering a special 20% discount on one of our digital download releases each week.

This week’s bargain-priced special is Tone Poems II Deluxe Edition Deluxe Edition, featuring mandolin master David Grisman and guitar virtuoso Martin Taylor in a jazzy sequel to the highly acclaimed Tone Poems project by Grisman and flat-picking great, Tony Rice. Both albums document the sounds of the great guitars and mandolins of the 20th century.

On Tone Poems II, Grisman and Taylor create the “vintage voices of the jazz age” with a repertoire of 19 standards (played on 41 classic instruments) spanning a range of 70 years, from George Gershwin’s “Swanee” to Chick Corea’s “Crystal Silence.” An impressive 48-page pdf booklet accompanies the music and for each duet there’s a corresponding photo essay that tells the story of that particular pair of instruments.
