Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

September 26, 2006 | Dave Apollon Clip

Legendary Dave Apollon, billed throughout his career as "The World's Greatest Mandolin Virtuoso," and captured in a rare 1951 video performance with Victor Borge to give you a small taste of this craftsman. Emigrating at an early age from Russia, this virtuoso wowed audiences throughout the country, a popular vaudeville act in New York in the 30's and 40's, brush with Hollywood Producers in the 50's, and eventually became a regular in Las Vegas. Known for his "over the top" solo act, the consummate showman, he is credited as a major influence on Jethro Burns.
