In this all-acoustic jazz   collaboration between guitarist, Gerry Beaudoin, mandolin icon, David   Grisman, and jazz guitar legend, Bucky Pizzarelli, this album could   be no less than dazzling and enchanting. Spotlighting many familiar   favorites, such as "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and "Misty" this   light-swinging, mood-setting, gentle but jangly album of   unprecedented musicianship and jazz mastery makes this project one   worth bowing to. A perfect fireside, after dinner, contemplative   treat. Don't miss it."   " A wonderful accompanist and performing partner."    - Bucky Pizzarelli   " one of the finest jazz guitarists on the face of the earth, Mr. Gerry Beaudoin."    - Gene Petit, WICN/PBS Program Director   " The Pizzarelli-Beaudoin simpatico is astounding."    - Jim Fisch, 20th Century Guitar Magazine   " Gerry Beaudoin makes a strong impression with this CD of easy going swing with a few twists added. He is no slouch as a solist either."    - Ken Dryden, All Music Guide   " Their performance swings formidibly throughout."    _ Billboard Magazine   " Every one enjoys playing with friends. But when your friends are mandolin titan David Grisman and jazz guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli a friendly get together becomes a memorable musical event."    - 20th Century Guitar Magazine
