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."

December 17, 2008 | 2008 in Review

We'd like to publicly thank Mandolin Cafe Super Administrator, Scott Tichenor for the mention of "Getting into Jazz Mandolin" as a highlight in his personal 2008 in Review report. 2008 was a great year for us; in addition to the book's release, we introduced a dynamic support section including background audio and some helpful professional demonstrations, JazzMando Webtracks.

Nice shirt!

We introduced three new builders in our Builder's Spotlight section, reviews including Jason Harshbarger, Austin Clark, Walt Kuhlman, and the collaborative efforts resulting in the Giacomel by Eastman. Of course our own joint efforts with Austin Clark ended up in a terrific new JazzMando signature model, the Clark JM Two-point.

We also expanded the JazzMando Flatwound family strings into ball-end electric with the new JM10B strings, and continue to partner with string manufacturers for other options for Mandola and Octave Mandolin. Hopefully something ready for market in early 2009...

Stay Tuned.
