Listen to two generations of "New Acoustic Music" - a term "coined" by banjo player Jake Shepps on his Bartok album to describe what he and Chris Thile, Punch Brothers, and the like, do with their mix of old and new music. Thing is, David Grisman, Darol Anger, Mike Marshall, and others were using that exact same term 30 years ago. We'll hear from all of them on this New Sounds program.
