For Release: April 25, 2002
The internationally famous, Grammy-winning group Psychograss brings their explosive musical skills and "jazzgrass" styling to Jubilee. The Psychograss performance was recorded at the 1998 Master Musicians Festival in Somerset, Ky.
Strongly influenced by jazz and classical music, the group includes fiddler Darol Anger, mandolin player Mike Marshall, bassist Todd Phillips, guitarist David Grier and banjo player Tony Trischka.
The list of honors and accolades is long for Psychograss, and their success owes much to what each band member brings to the table. Anger was a founding member of the innovative David Grisman Quintet and the Turtle Island String Quartet. Marshall has toured and recorded with such artists as Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, Stephan Grappelli, Mark O'Connor and Tony Rice. Grier has won multiple awards for his guitar playing and is considered by most bluegrass aficionados to be the greatest flat picker alive.
Bass player Phillips, also an original member of the David Grisman Quintet, plays a major role in performing and producing important new acoustic recordings. Trischka, called one of the greatest five-string banjo players ever, records both bluegrass and pop albums and has played in Broadway shows.
Jubilee is a KET production, produced and directed by H. Russell Farmer. The program is closed-captioned for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. Viewers can find out more about programming on KET by visiting the KET Web site at http://www.ket.org.
