Bluegrass Jam Along

Celebrating 50 years of the David Grisman Quintet - part 2 Todd Phillips


Listen Later

We're celebrating 50 years of the David Grisman Quintet with a special set of 3 episodes. This week is part 2, featuring Todd Phillips, who was in the band before it was even a band!

We chat about how he got to know David Grisman and how, through taking mandolin lessons from him, they started developing a duet that eventually grew into the Quintet. We also talk about his transition from the mandolin role to playing bass in that band, and subsequently with Tony Rice, both in The Tony Rice Unit and The Bluegrass Album Band (not to mention his own fantastic projects, including Phillips, Grier and Flinner).

For more on Todd and his incredible career visit toddphillipsmusic.com

For more on David Grisman, and to buy copies of the Quintet's music (including the wonderful David Grisman Quintet - First Recordings Live in Dawg’s Living Room) visit acousticdisc.com

Don't forget to check out part 1 of the series too, featuring Darol Anger and Mike Marshall. Next week I'll be bringing you a special conversation with David Grisman.

Happy picking,

Matt
