^ yeah, that pretty much sums up what I was thinking, we're going to wait on that whole bunch for now, basically it calls for creating a genre that we have discussed before, Jazz Related Country/Folk.We aren't going to make that genre yet, but maybe someday. There are some elements of country that seem the opposite of jazz to me, the simpler harmonies (jazz is 7 chords, country is triads,its a very different sound), and some of the rhythms, but we try to be open-minded here, so once we catch up on a lot of other stuff, maybe we'll try this country jazz genre.

	He is known in Bluegrass primarily. Actually recorded on David Grisman's label "Acoustic Disc" near the end. If we let him in, Bill Monroe and Flat and Scruggs are next. Vassar played with Bill early days. Fantastic fiddle player. David Grisman specialises in old Timey and Bluegrass but is known to do improvised style albums. Jerry Garcia ( Grateful Dead) loved Bluegrass and appears with him on some of his productions which are all acoustic. I have Vassar's last album "Livin' The Blues" as well as a few off David Grisman. Also have all of the material with Bill Monroe. He was a member Of John Hartford's band and recorded "Aereo Plain" one of John Hartford's best albums. Edited by Matt - 18 Jul 2012 at 5:16pm
