John Reischman, Scott Nygaard, and Sharon Gilchrist in Concert
The Mendocino College Recording Arts and Technology Club Present Artist-in-Residence John Reischman, Scott Nygaard, and Sharon Gilchrist in Concert Sunday, April 30, at 6:00pm.
The acoustic power trio of mandolinist John Reischman, guitarist Scott Nygaard, and bassist/mandolinist Sharon Gilchrist blends traditional bluegrass and folk styles with their own personalized visions of contemporary acoustic music, reshaping old melodies and composing new music based on traditional forms with an improvisatory flair and melodic richness.
Reischman and Nygaard, both Grammy winners revered in the acoustic world for their melodic virtuosity and impeccable tone, have been performing together off and on since the early 90s, when they played on each others solo recording debuts for Rounder Records. They are joined by Gilchrist, whose mandolin and bass playing have been in high demand for years, gracing the bands of acoustic and bluegrass icons Darol Anger, Peter Rowan, Tony Rice, Laurie Lewis, and others.
Reischmans most recent album, "Walk Along John", was described by Bluegrass Today as combining blazing bluegrass, stately old time melodies, and even reckless, seat-of-the-pants improvgrass, a fitting description of what you can expect to hear from these three empathetic musicians. The trio recently released a CD of traditional tunes, "The Harmonic Tone Revealers", about which Bluegrass Unlimited said, "The Harmonic Tone Revealers" highlights three of todays most accomplished and respected acoustic musicians. Filled with luxuriously gorgeous music and intriguing renditions of popular and obscure tunes, this CD cant fail to please anyone who loves bluegrass and acoustic music.
