This
new project is a collaboration of four musical friends who are
long-time veterans of the music industry. Greg Garrison is the bassist
and has played with such artists as the Punch Brothers, Lyle Lovett, and
Leftover Salmon. Grant Gordy is the guitarist and is a veteran of David
Grisman’s quartet. Mandolinist Joe K. Walsh is known for his work with
Darol Anger and the Gibson Brothers, and Alex Hargreaves has worked with
the Turtle Island Quartet and Sarah Jarosz.
This gathering has
produced a really nice instrumental compilation of both original tunes
and covers. These selections showcase each player’s talents and also
exhibits the musical blend of instrumentation that the four have so
easily accomplished. The originals consist of Walsh’s “The Wolf Who
Cried Boy” and “The Bold Coast” while Gordy penned “The Elephant of
Surprise” and “Sports.” Garrison’s contribution is “Woodpile” and
Hargreaves gives the set “Rattlesnake Pass.”
Other selections
include Grisman’s “Mill Valley Waltz” and “Steppin’ With Stephane,” Roy
Acuff’s “Smokey Mountain Rag,” Bill Frisell’s “Go Jake,” and “Mahjong”
from Wayne Shorter. This is a nice and easy listening experience with
acoustic selections that cover the musical influences of each player, be
it Bluegrass, Jazz, Swing, and Country.

de la industria musical. Greg Garrison es el bajista y ha tocado con
artistas como los Punch Brothers, Lyle Lovett y Leftover Salmon. Grant
Gordy es el guitarrista y es un veterano del cuarteto de David Grisman.
El mandolinista Joe K. Walsh es conocido por su trabajo con Darol Anger y

Island Quartet y Sarah Jarosz.
Esta reunión ha dado lugar a una
compilación instrumental realmente agradable, tanto de temas originales
como de versiones. Estas selecciones muestran el talento de cada
intérprete y también exhiben la mezcla musical de instrumentación que
los cuatro han logrado con tanta facilidad. Los originales son "The Wolf
Who Cried Boy" y "The Bold Coast" de Walsh, mientras que Gordy escribió
"The Elephant of Surprise" y "Sports". La contribución de Garrison es
"Woodpile" y Hargreaves aporta al conjunto "Rattlesnake Pass".
Otras
selecciones incluyen "Mill Valley Waltz" y "Steppin' With Stephane" de
Grisman, "Smokey Mountain Rag" de Roy Acuff, "Go Jake" de Bill Frisell y
"Mahjong" de Wayne Shorter. Se trata de una experiencia agradable y
fácil de escuchar con selecciones acústicas que abarcan las influencias
musicales de cada intérprete, ya sea Bluegrass, Jazz, Swing y Country.
