Jerry Garcia collaborated with rock and jazz greats in his too-short span of 35 years. His passing in 1995 shook the world as we know it. With 4500 shows under his belt and associations with the likes of David Grisman, Howard Wales and the Jerry Garcia Band... not to mention the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan... he broke new ground with original as well as covered masterpieces. We examine his profound impact on the world stage and make a feeble attempt to enter the psyche of this master.
