Pondering an Olympic calibre Jazz Mandolin Dream Team...
If we had to pick five players out of today's crop of greats (this side of the Atlantic) to get together for a serious jazz mandolin compilation, we'd most certainly engage Jethro legendary protege Don Stiernberg, Vermont Euro-Choro master Will Patton, Western Swing Bebopper Paul Glasse, electric jazz mandolin pioneer Michael Lampert, and MandolinCafe Site Curator Scott Tichenor. Imagine these cats trading fours on some standards.

Woof...

Well, I guess we can always dream.

Until then, buy everything these guys ever recorded.
