by Ken DrydenWhile mandolin master David Grisman and the equally talented guitarist Tony Rice may be better known in the world of bluegrass, jazz fans need to check out Tone Poems, an excellent collection of mandolin\u002Fguitar duets, performed with different vintage instruments on each track. The improvising by both men is never less than brilliant, transforming traditional folk tunes like Grandfather's Clock and I Am a Pilgrim, plus the unlikely O Solo Mio, into masterpieces. The lone track that's very familiar to jazz listeners is Swing '42, played very convincingly by two men who are well-versed in jazz even if they don't play it exclusively.
