22 mars, anniversaire de Gene LIBBEA, contrebassiste de NASHVILLE BLUEGRASS BAND
J'ai trouvé trois videos où il est plus visible que ne le sont habituellement les contrebassistes:
- d'abord comme chanteur:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YprU7BOfO-g
- ensuite en duo de contrebasses avec Roy HUSKEY Jr derrière John HARTFORD : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FrnqLaG7K8 Quel feeling, John HARTFORD. Hélas, Gene est le dernier survivant de cet atypique trio.
- pour ceux que le jazz n'effraie pas, en duo avec Pat CLOUD : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exiG0z9dftU

The David Grisman Quintet is a self-styled alternative bluegrass/acoustic jazz band founded by David Grisman in 1975 in San Francisco, California, USA. Inspired by such diverse genres as Bill Monroe's bluegrass legacy and Django Reinhard's 1930s swing, the Quintet created an entirely new style of acoustic music, and has inspired countless other musicians to take similarly eclectic approaches to their music.[1] Since its formation, the Quintet's members have included guitar virtuoso Tony Rice and multiinstrumentalists Mark O'Connor, Mike Marshall, Darol Anger and Jon Sholle. The Quintet has performed and recorded with special guests such as violin great Stephane Grapelli,[2][3] and remains active, with appearances scheduled at several music festivals around the U.S. in 2014–2015. The National Public Radio program Car Talk uses the band's instrumental "Dawggy Mountain Breakdown" as its theme music.

Et puis tout le reste :
David Grisman, né le 23 mars 1945 à Hackensack (New Jersey, États-Unis) est un joueur de mandoline américain. Sa virtuosité et son sens musical en a fait, depuis cinquante ans, l'un des meilleurs mandolinistes de bluegrass et de jazz.
David Grisman commence sa carrière musicale en 1963 en tant que membre du Even Dozen Jug Band. Son surnom, « Dawg » lui a été affectueusement donné par son ami Jerry Garcia en 1973 (ils se sont rencontrés en 1964 au Sunset Park). La musique de Dawg est un mélange de bluegrass, du jazz de Stéphane Grappelli et Django Reinhardt comme sur l'album Hot Dawg de 1977. Stephane Grappelli a joué sur deux morceaux de Hot Dawg et sur Stephane Grappelli and David Grisman Live en 1981. Grisman, avec New Grass Revival, est généralement considéré comme l'un des interprètes du nouveau bluegrass parfois appelé bluegrass progressif ou newgrass.
Compositeur, improvisateur et mandoliniste exceptionnel, David Grisman a très tôt été considéré comme l'un des pères du newgrass. Mais, à la différence de ses pairs (New Grass Revival ou Tony Trischka, par exemple), qui optent pour un bluegrass progressif, David Grisman se détache sensiblement de l'héritage et du son traditionnel, en optant, au sein de ses formations en quartet ou en quintet, pour un choix qui impose de suite le caractère de sa musique : le chant et le banjo disparaissent (au profit, au début, d'une mandoline en duo), les morceaux sont, souvent, de longues suites instrumentales, les influences deviennent multiples (Amérique du Sud, Europe de l'Est). Le répertoire est entièrement constitué autour des compositions de David Grisman, auxquelles s'ajoutent des thèmes extérieurs (Grappelli, Reinhardt, etc.). Très vite, on parle de Dawg music, pour qualifier un genre nouveau, résolument acoustique, entre bluegrass, jazz et musique savante, qui n'a pas d'équivalent. Plus tard, l'instrumentarium évolue, avec des entrées pour le moins originales : flûte traversières, percussions, etc.
Acoustic Disc Records — 100% handmade music
David Grisman est à l'initiative de la création d'un label au concept simple : la publication (ou republication) de ses propres enregistrements, l'édition de documents d'archives (enregistrements anciens, collectages), ainsi que la réalisation de nouveaux albums de groupes ou musiciens autres. Comme son nom l'indique, les enregistrements favorisent exclusivement les instruments acoustiques. Le premier disque à sortir sur ce label fut "Dawg 90".

Re: ANNIVERSAIRES : Le fils du retour!
Bon ....avec plus de deux semaines de retard ....on a laissé passer l'anniversaire de Norman Blake !.....c'est pas cool !!
Alors , juste comme ça une bio en anglais et la discographie du Monsieur....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEkVkJax2Co
Norman Blake (born March 10, 1938, Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States) is an American instrumentalist, vocalist, and songwriter.[1] In a career spanning more than 60 years Blake has played in a number of folk and country groups. He is considered one of the leading figures in the bluegrass revival of the 1970s and is still active today, playing concert dates and making albums with his wife Nancy Blake.
When he was one year old, his family moved to Sulphur Springs, Georgia where he was raised.
Norman Blake quit school at age 16 to play mandolin in a band. His first band, The Dixie Drifters, played the Tennessee Barndance on WNOX Radio in Knoxville, TN. Later, they went to WDOD Radio, and from there to WROM-TV in Rome, GA where they stayed until 1956. Norman then worked with banjoist Bob Johnson as The Lonesome Travellers. They joined with Walter Forbes in making two records for RCA. In 1959, Norman left those groups to go with Hylo Brown and the Timberliners, although he continued as a duet with Bob Johnson in making several guest appearances on WSM's Grand Ole Opry.
At that time, Norman was drafted and stationed in the Panama Canal as a radio operator. There he formed the Fort Kobbe Mountaineers, a bluegrass band in which Norman played the fiddle and mandolin. They were voted Best Instrumental Group of the Caribbean Command, with Norman voted Best Instrumentalist.
Upon returning to the United States, Norman taught guitar and played the fiddle in a country and western dance band three or four nights a week. He also made frequent trips to Nashville to play sessions and, for a time, played as a member of June Carter's road group.
In 1969, Norman moved to Nashville to do the Johnny Cash Summer TV show. Along with country and western sessions, Norman recorded with Bob Dylan on The Nashville Skyline album. He was a member of Kris Kristofferson's first road group, playing guitar and dobro, and did a seasonal tour with Joan Baez, playing mandolin, guitar, and dobro; Norman recorded with both groups. He left Kristofferson to join and record with John Hartford's Aereoplane Band. After that band dissolved, Norman toured with John Hartford as his accompanist for 1 1/2 years, during which time he recorded his first solo album, Home in Sulphur Springs. He also received a gold record for his participation on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's legendary, Will the Circle be Unbroken album.
In the ensuing years, Norman and his wife Nancy Blake have toured extensively, playing to larger and more dedicated audiences. Again, Frets Magazine Readers Poll Awards voted Norman first place, this time in the category of Best Multi-Instrumentalist of 1986. Since 1989, the Blake's have received four Grammy nominations in the "Best Traditional Folk Recording of the Year" category for their projects, Blind Dog, their Shanachie debut Just Gimme Somethin' I'm Used To, and Shanachie releases While Passing Along This Way and The Hobo's Last Ride.[3]
Although known as one of the most prominent acoustic guitar flatpickers, Norman Blake is a multi-instrumentalist and vocalist. Other instruments he plays include the mandolin, 6-string banjo, fiddle, dobro, banjo and viola.[4] He is known for his loose right hand guitar technique, which arose out of his mandolin technique. Also well known is his devotion to 12 fret guitars, including Martin 00s, 000s, D18s, D28s, and, most recently, Gibsons, like his 1929 12 fret Nick Lucas special.
Blake is best known for his work with John Hartford, Tony Rice, and his wife, Nancy Blake. He has played backup for Johnny Cash, June Carter, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Kris Kristofferson, Ralph Stanley, and Joan Baez. Blake also played on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, for which he received a Gold Record.[5].
From 1969 to 1971 he was a regular on ABC's The Johnny Cash Show, supplementing Cash's band the Tennessee Three.
Blake is listed in the credits of the Bob Dylan album Nashville Skyline and the Johnny Cash album Orange Blossom Special. He was featured on the Steve Earle comeback album Train A' Comin' and on the multi-platinum O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, which ignited new interest in old time music and won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2002. Blake participated in the "Down from the Mountain" tour which resulted. Blake also played on the 2007 album Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, which won five Grammy Awards.
Most of the music that Norman Blake plays could be described as neo-traditionalist Americana folk and roots music (folk, bluegrass, country, blues), and many of the songs he plays are traditional, but he plays this acoustic type of music with a style, speed, and quality that has evolved and progressed in the modern age. Though probably best known for his fluid renditions of classic fiddle tunes transcribed for the guitar (Fiddler's Dram / Whiskey Before Breakfast), Blake has also written songs that have become bluegrass and folk standards, such as "Ginseng Sullivan" from Back Home in Sulphur Springs, "Slow Train through Georgia", "Billy Gray," and "Church Street Blues".
Blake has produced 33 albums and has recorded on the Rounder, Flying Fish, Country, Takoma, Shanachie, Red House, Dualtone, and Plectrafone/Western Jubilee labels.

Re: ANNIVERSAIRES : Le fils du retour!
Ah ben non, là, je suis pas d'"accord. Deux semaines après, ça se fait pas de fêter un anniversaire. On attend l'année prochaine et puis c'est tout.
Aujourd'hui 27 mars c'est l'anniversaire du fiddler Aubrey HAYNIE. On le voit un peu moins sur les disques de bluegrass depuis quelques années (l'album de Rob ICKES et Trey HENSLEY quand même récemment). Je suppose qu'il fait pas mal de sessions country. Ce serait dommage qu'un tel talent soit inemployé.

Re: ANNIVERSAIRES : Le fils du retour!
Mardi 31 mars, c'est l'anniversaire du dobroïste Phil LEADBETTER et du banjoïste Barry CRABTREE. Ça tombe bien, ils ont été ensemble membres de GRASSTOWNE, ce qui nous fait une belle économie de droits video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJUVjHErcyQ
On retrouve aussi Phil avec JD CROWE et GRASSTOWNE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4mVZbzXbYQ
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjghgPdvycE
Et pour se faire plaisir, Phil à La Roche l'été dernier

Barry CRABTREE dans un instrumental plein d'harmoniques avec Larry SPARKS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRIUXr0jFUQ
C'est aussi l'anniversaire de la naissance (en 1922) de Howard FORRESTER qui a joué avec Bill MONROE (Sally Ann FORRESTER qui a été accordéoniste des BLUEGRASS BOYS (and girl)était son épouse), Roy ACUFF et a enregistré avec FLATT & SCRUGGS

Re: ANNIVERSAIRES : Le fils du retour!
Quand j'ai vu les anniversaires du jour, je me suis dit: "Y a pas de problème, Skip va se charger d'Emmylou." Ça n'a pas loupé. 69 ans et super bien liftée.
C'est aussi l'anniversaire de Dale PERRY, plus jeune mais beaucoup moins sexy. Surtout connu comme bassiste puis banjoïste de Doyle LAWSON & QUICKSILVER mais il a aussi joué avec les BLUEGRASS CARDINALS, David PARMLEY et c'est même lui qui jouait du banjo dans LONESOME RIVER BAND avant Sammy SHELOR, comme le montrerait ce document si on le voyait de plus près
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dER_iaSQSI
Il est surtout fameux pour sa voix de basse (avec QUICKSILVER, forcément)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdU4bU7yPlI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3gj9RhKVbg : On remarquera que, depuis Jamie DAILEY, il est permis de faire du gospel comique!

Re: ANNIVERSAIRES : Le fils du retour!
C'est plutôt photoshop pour la photo que lifting , en fait ...y a qu'à regarder les dernières videos sur le Tube , elle n'a pas eu recours à la chirurgie plastique ( et puis on s'en fout , elle chante toujours aussi bien et c'est ça qui compte.... je n'en parle que parce-que tu y a fait allusionDominique FOSSE a écrit :Quand j'ai vu les anniversaires du jour, je me suis dit: "Y a pas de problème, Skip va se charger d'Emmylou."

, on ne se pose pas la question pour les mecs d'ailleurs.....enfin pour un ou deux célèbres bluegrasseux chez nos amis américains ...si quand même !! 
) Sinon , si tu as un site de référence pour les anniversaires du jour ? je suis preneur, parce-que moi , c'est plutôt au pif quand je tombe dessus par hasard.....on voit ce que ça a donné avec Mr Blake !

Bien entendu je les connais par cœur, les dates d'anniversaire...skip a écrit :Sinon , si tu as un site de référence pour les anniversaires du jour ? je suis preneur, parce-que moi , c'est plutôt au pif quand je tombe dessus par hasard.....on voit ce que ça a donné avec Mr Blake !

En vérité, il y a eu unsite australien qui donnait les dates d'anniversaire (semaine par semaine je crois) et ça avait bien aidé il y a quelques années. Ce site a disparu mais j'en avais reporté la plupart sur un calendrier que j'ai conservé et qui reste utile mais il manque les dates des anniversaires des artistes les plus récents.
