Of those talks, Herrewig said: "Things were going good when Bill quit.

He added that he expects little or no change in the group's style even if a new lead singer is found (and -an excellent one, according to Herrewig, is auditioning soon). In Paliselli, though, the group had an aural and visual focus that other bands would killfor.Itdidn't hurt that he was a first-rate songwriter either. Clearly, the lossis immense. "I think we're still friends and everything," Herrewig said softly. "Bill just lost interest for a while, but we figured that was because his wife had had a baby.

Jazz Beat Philadelphia Honors Washington

By PETER KEEPNEWS STRUNG OUT: How many albums by mandolin players come along in the course of a year that are of interest to the devoted jazz lover? Rather astonishingly, there have been two in the last few weeks alone, and whether thisisa trend or a coincidence isbeside the point; what mattersisthat both "Jethro Burns Live" (Flying Fish) and "Stephane Grappelli/David Grisman Live" (Warner Bros.) offer more than their share of extremely pleasurable moments. As you might expect, both albums explore that fascinating musical territory where country and bluegrass intersect with jazz-producing a brand of music that at its worst can sound stilted and corny, but at its best is as spirited a medium for improvisation as there is.Itis at its best on both albums. Inasmuch as Burnsisa veteran country picker and much more Elektra/Asylum artist Grover Washington, Jr. recently received a Liberty Bell award of a traditionalist than Grisman, and inasmuch as Grappelli, who is from Mayor Richard Green and Rep.

The Mayor, Duran, Common Pleas Judge almost certainly the greatest living jazz violinist, doesn't have much Dick Klein,Philadelphia 76er Julius ("Dr.J") Erving and E/A national marketing to do with country or bluegrass, it's not surprising that the Grisman/ director/special markets Primus Robinson were among those making short speeches Grappelli collaboration is a bit more on the adventurous side, and citingWashington'scontributionstomusic andthecommunity.
