 April 1, 2007 | Frank Vignola and the DGQ
News from Acoustic Disc, guitar virtuoso Frank Vignola has joined the David Grisman Quintet. At 22, having honed his chops in the New York jazz scene, Vignola made four records as band leader for Concord Jazz, and toured with high profile artists like Bucky Pizzarelli, Les Paul, Lionel Hampton, Donald Fagen, Queen Latifah, Elton John, Ringo Starr, Madonna, Mark O'Connor, Joe Ascione, and more.
This news really has our attention because of his previous and successful partnerships in acoustic string jazz settings with many other prestigious mandolinists, including as Jamie Masefield in MaMaVig, Matt Flinner in Gypsygrass, Seventeen year-old mandolin phenom Josh Pinkham, jazz fiddle prodigy and mandolinist Aaron Weinstein, and now David Grisman.
