Swingrass '83
Swingrass '83 is a 1983 swing/prog-bluegrass album featuring Andy Statman, Richard Greene, Marty Krystall, Peter Ivers, Fred Tackett, Peter Erskine and Buell Neidlinger. The same musicians, minus Fred Tackett, had previously recorded an album under the name Buellgrass (Big Day At Ojai, also released in 1983, reissued on CD in 1996 under the title Across The Tracks).
The album consists of renditions of three songs apiece by Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, plus a couple of group originals.
Not yet issued on CD, the album was originally issued in 1983 on Antilles Records and reissued in 1990 on Mango Records.
The album has been well received by music critics. Scott Yanow said that the "unusual mixture of players" delivered "a memorable set". Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called the album the "left-field instrumental of the year".
