October 9, 2007 | Back to Back
Sure it's been three years now since the October 2004 re-release of "Back to Back," the duo recording of the greats of swing mandolin, Tiny Moore and Jethro Burns. Stumbling upon a review in an old AllAboutJazz.com archive, we were reminded how unfathomably great this recording is. Produced by David Grisman in 1979, the two are accompanied in this timeless treasure by Eldon Shamblin (Rhythm Guitar), Ray Brown (Bass), and Shelly Manne (Drums), certainly legends in their own right.
Back in the days before overproduced "punch ins," do-overs, and dubs, great musicians like these came in and cut whole albums in a single session. Knowing this just makes this two-CD package all the more special. If you don't have it, make it a part of your permanent library and personal audio study laboratory.
