I concur. Generally underrated, but not by jazz lovers. |

And the opus of the David Grisman Quintet Album, the last cut, "Dawg's Rag"... Stunningly good!
This album features the incomparable David Grisman on mandolin, the unparalleled Darol Anger on violin, and the virtuoso guitarist Tony Rice. Recorded in Berkeley in the fall of 1976.

I didn't know that you were a fan. I love the way bluegrass people float in and out of groups the same way the lead moves from person to person in a song. I've got a bunch of old Grisman, mostly with Jerry and Tony Rice with probably 10 different groups. |

Oh yes. Grisman and company were local folks here (Marin County, SF, Berkeley) and I heard them play in local venues as well as on vinyl. I think the Quintet album has their best music.

I've never seen him, but have listened to him forever. Do you listen to Doc Watson? He and Grisman recorded and played together. |

Yes, I think I even saw Doc Watson perform when I was a student at UC Davis. Nice guitar he's got there.

Born in the mountains of NC in the 20s, blinded as a kid, learned guitar and finally discovered in the 60s. "In the latter half of the 20th century there were three pre-eminently influential folk/country guitar players: Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Arthel "Doc" Watson, a flat-picking genius from Deep Gap, North Carolina. Unlike the other two, Watson was in middle age before gaining any attention. After 1960, though, when Watson was recorded with his family and friends in Folkways' Old Time Music at Clarence Ashley's, people remained in awe of this gentle blind man who sang and picked with a pure and emotional authenticity." www.allmusic.com/artist/doc-watson-mn0000169202/biography#:~:text=During%201961%2C%20Watson%20made%20his,album%2C%20Doc%20Watson%20%26%20Family. full circle back to Grisman en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_%26_Dawgwww.dailymotion.com/video/x35ker0Grisman can damn sure play the mandolin. |

Grisman falls under the broader heading of folk music, no?
PROOF: Bluegrass < Folk Music
Does this?
EDIT: youtube deleted original material.

Recorded Chicago February 16, 1958. The very day my Mother caught on fire, flannel maternity PJ's ignited while reaching over the gas stove. She was still recuperating when I was born a mere three months later. Good times.
Perhaps that accounts for your fiery disposition?

Oh, I dunno. I was into folk music in high school, played guitar, took up fiddle in college as well as lots of music courses to soften the science. To me Bluegrass is simply an American art form but not necessarily a subset of folk music. Too often in a folk music club meeting some bluegrass fanatics would barge into the room and disrupt the sing-alongs. Everyone was too polite to object but you could tell it was not going over well. Eventually the fiddlers and jammers would get relegated to the basement so the singers could do their thing upstairs. I even lived in that house for a while as I was trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my young life.

You know, I used to be more of that mindset than I am now. But then I heard on NPR that Duke Ellington refused to refer to his music as swing or jazz, or as anything other than folk music. That still intrigues me. |

I wasn't aware of his belief on that.
It makes some sense, I suppose.
Let's just say he made great music.
