		<description><![CDATA[Guitarist Dimitri Vandellos, shifting easily in style and touch from acoustic to electric guitar, was appropriately passionate on a flamenco-like song, and cool and easy on the bossa nova and funk rhythms that followed. Grisman mostly limited himself to crisp, articulate melodic statements, playing easily off Vandellos' mellower sounding instruments.

By the time the group hit the bop classic "Good Bait," a thorough integration of sound and rhythm had taken place and they were surging forward with the almost intuitive interaction of a classical string quartet. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In drummer George Marsh, bassist Jim Kerwin and guitarist Dimitri Vandellos, Grisman has three especially gifted musical partners.  Together they produced a series of stirring solos and fleet ensemble work that exuded warmth and charm, and repeatedly scaled heights other musicians only dream of.

At times, the four instrumentalists achieved the harmonic sophistication and precise contrapuntal interplay of a world-class string quartet, as they created a lattice like tapestry of finely woven melodies.   Yet even at their most refined, they never lost the swinging pulse that gives both jazz and bluegrass its rhythmic appeal.   What resulted was simultaneously earthy and sophisticated, diverse yet direct.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the past dozen years, mandolinist David Grisman has showcased some of the world's finest steel-string acoustic guitarists-including Tony Rice, Mark O'Connor, Mike Marshall, and Jon Sholle - while producing his unique blend of Jazz, bluegrass, classical, and ethnic music.  Thus it's a surprise to discover that Dimitri Vandellos, the current occupant of the guitar chair in the David Grisman Quartet, never played or owned a steel-string until he joined the band.

		<description><![CDATA[At the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, one was treated to country music by Michael Martin Murphey and Texan Robert Earl Keen.  The sound of Louisiana found powerful expression in Beausoleil's Cajun dance music and Little Feat's gumbo funk.  Unmistakable ethnic influences from Ireland to Poland and the Middle East found expression in Mark O'Connor's world-class fiddling and David Grisman's "jazzgrass" compositions.   A clearly classical influence shone in Edgar Meyer's bass variations, Nancy Blake's cello and Dimitri Vandellos' guitar wizardry. [...]]]></description>
