Nick Ogawa: Shady Grove

A beautiful rendition of the traditional tune Shady Grove played by Nick Ogawa on the cello and vocals.

In his words:

I love this song. It's a traditional folk/bluegrass song that's been handed down and evolved in various ways over time. There are tons of different versions out there. I originally learned it from a friend, who had learned it from the Jerry Garcia and David Grisman "Pizza Tapes."

Recently my version has been getting some radio play, which I'm really excited about! My album includes this song and is available on cdbaby.com here:

The Masada String Trio

Masada String Trio

The Masada String Trio performs selections from the Masada songbook in a classical-cum-chamber jazz form. Personnel include Mark Feldman (violin), Erik Friedlander (cello), and Greg Cohen (bass).

The performing style is characterized by the use of improvisation (sometimes conducted by Zorn himself) and its use of the inflections of Jewish music that are part of the compositional language of Zorn's "Masada" themes.

Video's Live At the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days 1999, Poland.

Josiah Altschuler: 14 Rivers, 14 Floods (Beck Cover)

14 Rivers, 14 Floods is one of my favorite Beck tunes. It's a raw and gritty blues from the album "One Foot in the Grave".
