Book Review: Good material, but it's not Andy on the CD
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the privilege to study mandolin with Andy Statman back in the early 80's. His phrasing and harmonic sense was/is unlike anyone I'd ever heard play the instrument and owes as much to Coltrane and Albert Ayler as it does to Bill Monroe. To his credit as a teacher, Andy never erected walls between genres and always emphasized the blues as the "common thread" linking bluegrass, jazz and most American music. The tunes in the book are all bluegrass chestnuts you'll want to know to jam with others. If you're interested in improvisation, examine closely the solos printed below the melody lines. While sticking fairly close to the melody there's a subtle chromatic spice in there that will stretch your ears and encourage you to take chances. My only gripe: The original edition of this book had no recording - this revised edition does but, unfortunately, the band doesn't include Andy. The player is competent but I'd encourage anyone interested in great mandolin playing to seek out Statman on record.
