Man, Vassar was one of the true player’s players. Totally self taught, mostly by ear, and could spin circles around most of the Nashville cats.

Love Redneck Jazz, and his playing on Bela Fleck’s Bluegrass Sessions Vol 2. “Valley of the Rogue” is such a dope tune.

Valley of the Rogue is very nice and has quite the cast of players. Thanks!

Out of all of his huge library of work, that might be my favorite of all of Bela’s tunes.

It’s a fuckin’ journey.

I think it’s his best. Drive is a classic but Bluegrass Sessions has a vision.

I think the title is actually Hillbilly Jazz, unless it's a deep, deep cut.

You’re right, I always mix up that and Danny Gatton’s album Redneck Jazz.

One of the major reasons I took up the violin last year, after 20+ years of guitar and bass.
