Personnel: John Renbourn, Stefan Grossman (guitar). This collection highlights two of the world's best (if little-known outside of acoustic music circles) acoustic guitarists, Stefan Grossman and John Renbourn. Renbourn made a name for himself as a member of the great British folk group Pentangle, as well as a solo artist in the Brit trad-folk scene. Grossman, who studied with blues/gospel legend Reverend Gary Davis, has played with John Fahey and Paul Simon and has, since the mid-'60s, kept the rich legacy of acoustic guitar in blues, folk, and ragtime alive. Together, they explore the guitar as few can, picking with incredible technique and confident grace. This set collects recordings from 1977-1987, with the duo playing mostly originals, drawing equally upon jazz, blues, ragtime, and various styles and eras of folk music. One of the highlights here is their version of the Thelonious Monk standard "'Round About Midnight"--the two keep the tune close to the blues, yet give it a stately feel that makes it sound like it could've been composed centuries ago by a Medieval troubadour.
