I love Sam's mandolin as a percussion instrument approach. Way too cool.

I just remember seeing two TV specials with these guys together, exceptional stuff and to me way ahead of anything else I was seeing done. Amazing - thanks for posting this and proving it wasn't just a dream...

Mark makes this TAK sing man !!!!!
-
man, I wish mark o'connor would've done more guitar work
-
Let me make sure I have it all lined up. You want me to throw this thing into the tub when Belas banjo solo in "Slopes" peaks. Is that it?
-
Jesus. This might be the best banjo solo ever recorded. Bela does inhuman things with his instrument that no one in the world can do.

@Airsasquacth Mark O'Connor would own Tony Rice on this song
-
What a shame that they were together for only a short period of time. Their one album is definitely a classic among albums. Everything on it is unique and can be listened to for hundreds of times without your tiring of them. A work of genius by the best that ever played each of the instruments. What a phenomenal album!
-
basically an allstar lineup of the best modern bluegrass musicians alive. Missing Tony Rice though
-
A staggering array of talent!

@ohkeepa321 He didn't play everything on Markology. He played nearly everything on Retrospective and Elysian Forest. Matter of fact, it's a complete wives tale that he ever put out an album in which he played everything. That has been an erroneous rumor for as long as I can remember. Untrue, nevertheless. The only thing he played on Markology was the guitar. Dan Crary, Tony Rice, David Grisman, & Sam Bush all played on Markology.



are these guys still together?

Nope. They were only together briefly, unfortunately. The one album the produced (The Telluride Sessions) is definitely worth the purchase.
