“Satisfied,” on the Acoustic Disk/Koch label, will be released Nov. 6.
Don’t think for a minute it’s a first crossing of paths between these two legends. According to advance publicity on the CD, “Their musical history dates back to college days at New York University circa 1963 when the Greenwich Village folk revival was in its heyday. They made their first recording together as members of the Even Dozen Jug Band with future luminaries Maria Muldaur, Stefan Grossman and others. The rest, of course is musical history. John Sebastian became lead singer and songwriter of one of America’s most popular bands - the Lovin’ Spoonful and David Grisman spearheaded an acoustic music revolution with his genre-defying “Dawg” music.”
Finally, after a 40-plus year hiatus, their paths crossed again at a benefit concert in Mill Valley, Calif. After this mutually enjoyable evening of spontaneous music, it became obvious that they would continue collaborating and the result is ‘Satisfied.’”
The CD is a collection of acoustic duets featuring traditional folk tunes, blues, classy instrumentals and originals by these two legendary masters.

1. I’m Satisfied
2. Strings Of Your Heart
3. EMD
