Jerry Garcia David Grisman so What

Legend has it that a pizza delivery boy lifted Jerry Garcia's cassette tape of two evenings worth of very special music from his kitchen counter, thus paving its way into underground tape trading circles and giving a handle to these incredible performances. Now at last, from the vaults of Dawg Studios comes the sonically superb official release of this historic jam session, the only meeting of guitar greats Jerry Garcia and Tony Rice, introduced to each other by their mutual friend and musical associate, mandolinist/ producer David Grisman. The Pizza Tapes capture these virtuosos at a rare moment in time, free of pressure, hassles or any given agenda other than making music and having plenty of fun.

3CD COLLECTION OF JERRY GARCIA S LIVE SOLO WORK As iconic a figure as any who emerged from the 1960s American counter-culture, Jerry Garcia is among the most beloved and respected musicians from the rock age. And while his work with the Grateful Dead requires little introduction, his other musical achievements, as a solo artist, a group member, one half of a duo, or - most notably - as leader and frontman of the Jerry Garcia Band, may be less familiar to the proverbial man-on-the-street, it remains just as potent, significant and downright entertaining. This tripe CD collection celebrates Garcia s solo work, bringing together as it does a trio of live recordings from the great man s golden era. Featuring, on disc one, a 1980 recording from JGB, recorded for live FM broadcast in Hempstead, New York in February 1980, on disc two another broadcast recording is included, this time of a show he gave with bass player John Khan in Santa Cruz in 1985. Concluding this superb collection, on disc three a concert by Jerry Garcia and bluegrass mandolinist David Grisman is featured, recorded in Garcia s spiritual home, San Francisco, in early 1991.
