    Listening to Eaton

    Don’t miss this title from bassist Cleveland Eaton from 1974: Cleveland Eaton, Plenty Good Eaton.
    This record refuses to get off my turntable deck.
    Sorely underappreciated…

    CD by Martin Taylor and…

    CD by Martin Taylor and David Grisman's Acoustic Jazz Quartet, called "I'm Beginning to See the Light.," 1999.

    Taylor and Grisman go at a bunch of true standards (Autumn Leaves, Cheek to Cheek, Lover Man, Willow Weep for Me, Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered...etc.) It is good because it does focus Grisman a little, like Garcia used to do, and bring David down from his free form "Dawg" jamming. It's nice, like at a Dead concert, when the riffing resolves into a recognizable song and melody. On the other hand, maybe you can say that Grisman is excessively disciplined and sticks too closely to the melody here rather than riffing and improvising as much as many jazz players do - could have been a happy medium with his Dawg somehow - maybe he felt a little more free to do that in his collaborations with Jerry. But this is good. Great music for dinner or reading and you raise your head every once in awhile at a nice riff or return to well known swing melodies. And danceable if you know your Lindy. That's probably what was intended. Jerry would have appreciated it, I think - Jerry himself in his last interviews said he was going to see Steffan Grappelli doing this sort of riffing on standards before both of them unfortunately passed on. And of course Jerry was named after Jerome Kern, or so I heard once upon a time, so these standard would be right up his alley.

    Trey is just absolutely ripping here, even for the early 90s.

    To Terrapin

    Have you ever heard of the site called heady version (all one word)? It's a deadhead generated ranking of all the Grateful Dead's catalogue. According to the site, it lists the top 3 versions as: 2-26-77, 5-17-77 and 1-22-78.

    -edit- Looks like Terrapin from 10-22-83 gets some high ratings from the 80's.

    Thanks Mr. Jones

    The compilation matches the style of the taper I got them from-he tended to combine shows!! Thank you so much!!! It’s a fun game! Do you know anything about the Terrapin from the Omni Show? I love a good terrapin!

    Hey Now Grateful Gal

    Looks like you might have 3-24-88 The Omni set I, with some of 3-28-88 Hampton set I as filler. I just cracked open my trusty DeadBase to check. It's a fun game, guess the show... :-)
