David Grisman & Martin Taylor • Tone Poems II

 

Review by Ken Dryden

David Grisman doesn't stick exclusively to mandolin on this top-notch duo date with guitarist Martin Taylor, playing mandola, mandocello, tenor guitar, and guitar as well. As on this album's predecessor, the two artists play a different vintage instrument on each track, though the music this time is much more familiar to jazz fans. The interpretations of such classics as "Swanee," "Anything Goes," "Blue Moon," and "Over the Rainbow" are consistently both stunning and fresh. The gems among the jazz compositions include Django Reinhardt's "Tears" and a tour de force arrangement of Chick Corea's "Crystal Silence." Two surprising tracks are the usually trite "Mairzy Doats" (an irritating song that was a huge hit in the '40s) and the very snappy take of the often tedious "Besame Mucho"; when musicians the caliber of Grisman and Taylor can make something out of unpromising songs like these, it demonstrates how gifted they are. Highly recommended.

Tone Poems 2 is an album by American musicians David Grisman and Martin Taylor, released in 1995. It is Grisman's follow-up to his collaboration with guitarist Tony Rice on Tone Poems. This is a more jazz-oriented recording, on which Grisman and Taylor play on a variety of vintage fretted classic instruments (altogether they use 41 guitars, mandolins, mandolas, tenor guitars and mandocellos).

Reseña de Ken Dryden

David Grisman no se ciñe exclusivamente a la mandolina en esta cita a dúo de primera categoría con el guitarrista Martin Taylor, tocando mandola, mandocello, guitarra tenor y guitarra también. Como en el álbum anterior, los dos artistas tocan un instrumento vintage diferente en cada canción, aunque la música esta vez es mucho más familiar para los fans del jazz. Las interpretaciones de clásicos como "Swanee", "Anything Goes", "Blue Moon" y "Over the Rainbow" son consistentemente impresionantes y frescas. Las joyas entre las composiciones de jazz incluyen "Lágrimas" de Django Reinhardt y un arreglo "tour de force" de "Silencio de Cristal" de Chick Corea. Dos temas sorprendentes son el usualmente trillado "Mairzy Doats" (una canción irritante que fue un gran éxito en los años 40) y la muy rápida toma del a menudo tedioso "Besame Mucho"; cuando músicos del calibre de Grisman y Taylor pueden hacer algo con canciones poco prometedoras como estas, demuestra lo dotados que están. Muy recomendable.

Tone Poems 2 es un álbum de los músicos americanos David Grisman y Martin Taylor, publicado en 1995. Es la continuación de la colaboración de Grisman con el guitarrista Tony Rice en Tone Poems. Se trata de una grabación más orientada al jazz, en la que Grisman y Taylor tocan una variedad de instrumentos clásicos antiguos con trastes (en total utilizan 41 guitarras, mandolinas, mandolas, guitarras de tenor y mandocellos).
