#NowPlaying - elegant all-star #newgrass session from 1974 starring (to my ears) #jazz bass heavy dave holland & the sweeping melancholia of #fiddler vassar clements. hot pickin', sure, but more importantly beautiful. picked this up today & on my 4th listen.
@bourgwick this is one of my favorite albums. There's a trio date from the 80s of Holland, Hartford and Vassar that I think you'd really love if you don't already
@mrcompletely oh yeah been deep into that recently via your pointer (just played on my radio show last week) & then saw this today & it was the perfect right-album-right-time pickup.
@bourgwick fantastic! I love them both and play em often as companion pieces. Vassar and Holland are an amazing combo, both so richly toned and nimble.
@mrcompletely @bourgwick I was stoked when I stumbled across this AND Clements-Hartford-Holland in the miscellaneous section of a used record bin last year! I'm intrigued by #jazz giant Dave Holland's jaunts into progressive #bluegrass. The only other session I know of is on John Hartford's Morning Bugle, a masterpiece. Holland's lyricism blends so well with those #newgrass pioneers. He'd be a great fit with David Grisman #dawgmusic
@BEK97 @bourgwick I wish I'd known these albums when we booked him for a gig in the early 2ks. He was super nice and approachable and I didn't want to be another guy pestering him with miles questions so I asked him about the making of Conference of the Birds, which in retrospect is likely another super common nerd topic. Anyway great seeming dude, very chill
