The B-Side

Mandolin master David Grisman may work the names of various musical genres and styles into the titles of some of his tunes (for example, see "Bluegrass at the Beach," "Blues for Vassar," "Dawg's Waltz," "Dawg's Rag"), but sometimes labels can be deceiving. While he may take his influences from many genres, Grisman's style is entirely his own, as he showed during his epic set on Friday (June 5) at the historic Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank.
