New England Jazz Guitarist and Berklee-bred Bandleader, Gerry Beaudoin has remastered a fabulous compilation of jazz favorites, Swing Cafe. Special treat, sports fans: the addition of jazz mandolin innovator, David Grisman in 7 out of the 12 selections!
Embedded in the charter of the JazzMando mission is promoting the regular appearance of mandolin in mainstream acoustic jazz ensembles; this recording is another fine example of how mandolin BELONGS in string band jazz. Grisman's concept of fluid line is a laboratory of candy-coated tone and phrasing.
Special thanks to Gerry for giving the mandolin this opportunity!

Stay tuned!
