Amazon.com Picking up where they left off with 1995's duet recording Tone Poems II, mandolin master David Grisman and guitar great Martin Taylor blithely saunter through a dozen jazz staples. Taylor's playing boasts a blues-soaked intensity and insouciant fire that isn't normally associated with the willowy and refined soloist, while Grisman showcases a wide variety of adventurous ideas, but at no time do the issues seem forced. The sympathetic and delicate rhythmic support of bassist Jim Kerwin and drummer George Marsh contributes to the air of easygoing delight. Taylor even picks up the mandolin himself on a hidden "keepsake." --Marc Greilsamer Similarly Requested CDs

Member CD Reviews Bridget S. (Vassar) from PLYMOUTH, IN Reviewed on 11/14/2012... Ah, an album full of old jazz standards. Anyone even remotely familiar with jazz will most likely know all of these selections. I highly recommend this album for someone just entering jazz. I was in that place...the tunes on here are great repertoire additions and are worth learning. One thing that is very helpful is that each tune is played "straight" the first time closely following a version you'd find in a fakebook. Besides the learning aspect though, this is great listening too! Everything is real laid back-all acoustic instruments, light drums & bass, and laid back tempos. The improvisation is superb!
CD ReviewsSuperb, simply superb 07/27/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "We lost Stephane Grappelli a few years ago. Luckily, Martin Taylor and David Grisman, men who delighted Grappelli greatly are still with us and still swinging.This CD is an absolute joy from its first note to its last. The songs are old standards, ones that were in the Grappelli repertoire. They are performed with a skill and lightness that is delightful. The mikes even caught some of the joshing during the session.If anyone out there is familiar with the Chester and Lester sessions, Chet Atkins and Les Paul, this CD has a similar flavor." Taylor and Grisman - Unbeatable, Unforgettable marilyn kreienkamp | Dittmer, Mo | 07/06/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "Both Martin Taylor and David Grisman are superb musicians so it is not surprising they play together so well that one would think they had been for years. This is an excellent C.D., but what really makes it a cut above the rest is the subtle (but never understated) percussion work of George Marsh and the outstanding bass work of Jim Kerwin. Kerwin's solo in "Exactly Like You" is delightful and unique to this type of music. This music is appropriate any time of day or night, but for a real joy, play it on a rainy Sunday afternoon while you are curled up with a good book or someone you love. By the way, there is a track #13 not listed and I think Martin Taylor is playing the mandolin - and playing it well."
