5 out of 5 stars Their improvisational skills are something to appreciate.......2005-03-02

"Back To Back" presents music that resulted from an historic 1979 summit of two superb jazz mandolinists, Tiny Moore and Jethro Burns. Both were 59 years old at the time and full of maturity and vitality in their playing. This 2004 release includes a second disc of previously unreleased alternate takes and a bonus track ("Maiden's Prayer"). At the session, Moore and Burns were accompanied by some stellar musicians -- Eldon Shamblin (guitar), Ray Brown (bass) and Shelly Manne (drums). Producer David Grisman also plays on three tunes (Moonlight Waltz, Tiny's Rag, Maiden's Prayer), and the third mandolin imparts a powerful intensity particularly on the slower tunes.

During his fifty years in the business, Jethro Burns made a big name for himself as half of the comedy duo Homer & Jethro. His playing is distinctive and picturesque. Texan Tiny Moore began working with western swing legend Bob Wills in 1946 and created his own unique style on a 5-string, solid-body electric mandolin. The 1979 recording session marked the first meeting of these legendary mando-giants, and you can hear the excitement in their playing.

The title cut, "Back to Back," comes from the repertoire of Wes Montomery. Tiny's electric flair blends nicely with Jethro's unparalleled acoustic sense. The interpretive twists added along the way supplant some tunes with new life (like jazzy progressions Bill Monroe's "Moonlight Waltz"). They push the envelope on a number of jazz standards. A dazzling display of gypsy jazz permeates a cover of the Reinhardt/Grappelli favorite "Swing '39," while the two masters take Duke Ellington's "In a Mellotone" and Count Basie's "Tickle Toe" to places these songs have never been before. Impressively virtuosic playing is the trademark of this recording. Perhaps the most illustrious offerings are their own originals. With their veteran sidemen, they romp through "Jethro's Tune" and "Flickin' My Pick," both certainly jaw-dropping performances. Their improvisational skills are something everyone should appreciate and study closely. Moore's poignant "Real Laid Back" and bouncy "Tiny's Rag" are similarly breathtaking.

The recently discovered alternate takes that comprise the second disc reveal "golden insight into what made these cats swing so hard," as jazz mandolinist Don Stiernberg writes in the liner notes. A bit of laughing and chatting on disc two, and their variations on the themes allow us to further study this music. (Joe Ross, staff writer, Bluegrass Now)

5 out of 5 stars Bye Bye Blues.......2007-07-03

What can I say that probably hasn't been said. I have followed Jethro career for the last 50 years and he is just amazing. Like prior CD's of Jethro, I like to listen through once and then just play parts of the CD to capture and absorb the full flavor of his music.Like prior CD's this is exceptionally clean of background and lets you listen comfortably. If I had any wants to this and other Jethro CD's would have been some really long sets. What's really exciting to see is a good start to the Homer & Jethro catalog being released 30 plus years later as a compilation set. This is a good start to see how Jethro style delveloped with Homer.

5 out of 5 stars Oh so sweet!.......2006-02-15

Now that Jethro has shuffled off the old mortal coil, this is definately some of the sweetest mandolin playing this side of heaven. I grew up listening to Homer & Jethro and hearing this other side of Mr. Burns when he played with Steve Goodman and on these discs that D. Grisman was so kind to release, makes the humor all the more delicious.

5 out of 5 stars An essential jazz mandolin recording.......2002-08-09

These mandolin/guitar duets are a crash course in how swing music should be played. Expertly recorded in Jethro's living room at the end of his life, Jethro demonstrates complete mastery of his instrument, playing with elegance and grace. Don Stiernberg's rhythm guitar is superb, and worthy of study by any aspiring swing guitarist. This is a disk that will sound as good twenty years from now as it does today. Buy "Swing Low, Sweet Mandolin" as well--more tracks from the same sessions.

5 out of 5 stars Old School -- Rock solid.......2003-10-04

Jethro Burns, shows his skills on this and other releases. Thanks to David Grisman for bringing these gems out of the vault, good stuff. If you like good mandolin playing jazz standards, this one is for you. If you like good music no matter what genre... enjoy. Truly a master classic. Great sound quality... thanks to the engineering and devotion to the instrument and the artist, David Grisman has really added to the catalog of available classics in the mandolin. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Master muscianship.......2001-09-10

This collection and its companion "Bye Bye Blues" are a treasure trove of well known standards and equally fine lesser known swing and jazz tunes interpreted by the player many professional mandolinists consider THE giant of the instument. Jethro's intimate mandolin lead and Don Stiernberg's guitar accompaniment bring out the essence of the songs and the sound quality is excellent. You can't go wrong with purchasing these. It's issued by David Grisman's label which is an endorsement in itself.

        Product Description

        As half of the legendary country duo Homer & Jethro, Jethro Burns was equally famous for his hot licks and quick quips. Here, his mandolin playing is front and center in a collection of jazz-tinged "hot band" arrangements of classic tunes. With stellar support from Vassar Clements (fiddle), Bob Hoban (piano), Mike Dowling (acoustic guitar) and Johnny Burns (electric guitar), this 1977 album re-establishes Jethro Burns as a major innovator and primary influence on mandolinists today.
