Produced by Evan J. Marshall

When we last left our hero, he had blazed new trails and explored
heretofore uncharted territory with his CD, "Mandolin Magic".
Here, now, is a collection of his further adventures on the mandolin
frontier, chronicles of a champion of the plucked string and the art
of musical transcription. |

Mandolin Magic
1990/Rounder Records #0273
Produced and Engineered by David Grisman 
What sounds like a small choir of mandolins playing bass lines, chordal
accompaniment, and tremolo melodies is in fact nothing except Evan
Marshall all by himself. Which would not mean much in this Age of
the Overdub except for one astounding fact: Marshall plays all this
music live, at once, on one mandolin, with no overdubs at all. That's
four tiny pairs of strings and one flatpick, plus a stray finger or
ten. These feats of the impossible are something like what Chet Atkins
does on guitar -- Atkins, in fact, commended Marshall as "one
of the few great musicians of our time." Produced and engineered
by David Grisman. |

Tone
Poets
2005- Acoustic Disc - Various Artists

- Review by James Christopher Monger
Produced and recorded by mandolin/bluegrass legend David Grisman,
this two-disc set collects 31 recordings made over the span of four
years by some of acoustic music's most talented practitioners. Recorded
on the same two instruments (a 1922 Gibson F-5 mandolin and 1933 Martin
OM-45 guitar) to a 1/2" two-track analog tape machine, and utilizing
no equalization, it's up to the performer to set the dynamic. This
is not just a showcase for the instrument, it's a challenge to the
players, and whether it's improvised Eastern European blues (Frank
Vignola's "Gypsy Playland") or a strict interpretation of
J.S. Bach (Mike Marshall's "Corrente in D Minor"), these
"tone poets" make each delightfully organic track absolutely
electrifying. |
