Tone Poems III The Sounds of the Great Slide & Resophonic Instruments Released : 2000 Label : Acoustic Disc Format : Mp3@320  Bob Brozman gets together with David Grisman and Mike Auldridge to trace the musical history of the great resophonic and slide instruments that were developed in America during the first third of the 20th century. The third in Grisman's series of Tone Poems projects, this one is the most extensive yet, and features the three masters playing 21 tunes and over 50 instruments - each song characteristic of the era in which the instruments were made. Together, they trace the development of these unusual hybrid instruments that formed the "missing link" between acoustic and electric. The music follows the parallel development of the instruments and the styles of music played on them. It runs the gamut from Hawaiian, blues, ragtime, and swing to early country, bluegrass, newgrass, jazz, latin - even into funk. Some of the more unique instruments used include a 1915 Knutsen Harp Hawaiian Guitar, several one-of-a-kind Nationals and Dobros, and other odd and delightful artifacts of those forward-looking days. Assembling the collection of instruments for this project was a project in itself; over 100 instruments were gathered before selecting the best of them for this CD. It was quite a sight to see David and Bob set off from Bob's house in 2 cars, laden with 40 instruments each. The sessions were relaxed and free-flowing with ideas and arrangements. The whole thing was done over several intense days at Grisman's studio, with so many instruments lying around that it was hard to walk from room to room!
