The David Grisman Quintet

The debut of the Quintet, with eight tracks and Tony Rice on guitar.
David Grisman, 1977

Grisman plays mandolin and sings, Rice guitar and vocals, Darol Anger fiddle, mandolin, violectra and vocals, Bill Amatneek bass and Todd Phillips mandolin. The tracks are "E.M.D." (2:37), "Swing 51" (4:25, Rice), "Opus 57" (2:56), "Blue Midnite" (3:40), "Pneumonia" (4:31), "Fish Scale" (7:30, Artie Traum), "Richochet" (2:05, Grisman and Richard Somers) and "Dawg's Rag" (9:04); a CD adds "Minor Swing" and "16-16". Christgau's Record Guide gave a B-plus, and David J. Brown wrote in 2021 that the cover told you this record was all about the instruments and their players. Acoustic Disc reissued it. We found no studio.
