TREAT OF THE WEEK!

This week we’re spotlighting Tone Poems II Deluxe Edition, featuring guitar master Martin Taylor and David Grisman in a jazzy sequel to the highly acclaimed Tone Poems project by Dawg and flat-picking great, Tony Rice. Both albums document the sounds of the great fretted instruments of the 20th century. Grisman and Taylor create “vintage voices of the jazz age” with a repertoire of 19 standards, played on 41 classic archtop guitars and mandolins. Included is a recording of the Lloyd Loar quartet (guitar, mandolin, mandola and mandocello), recently featured in the Acoustic America exhibit at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona. An impressive 48-page pdf booklet accompanies the music.
