Podcast appearances and mentions of john reischman

This week we feature mandolin master John Reischman.  John performed with a number of prominent west coast bands, including the Tony Rice Unit, before starting his own band John Reischman and the Jaybirds.  We'll talk with John about all of various groups he has performed with, his solo projects and what lies ahead for his band.

Episode #299: While the public has become hyper aware of Billy Strings on his rocket ride to the top of bluegrass, only a small retinue of the music's traditional veteran artists have achieved popular name recognition. I think especially of Del McCoury and Ricky Skaggs. But there's a deeper world there, and we should work a little harder to shine the light on more of the old school masters working today. That's what episode #299 of The String is about, through conversations with singer Danny Paisley and mandolinist John Reischman. Paisley, who grew up in a bluegrass family band a few miles from the McCourys is a four time IBMA Male Vocalist of teh Year. Reishman is a Californian who early on played in the first Tony Rice Unit before starting his 25-year band the Jaybirds. They are “musicians' musicians,” which doesn't help them put food on the table or build their legacies.

This episode of Back Porch Bluegrass features music from 1927 right through to 2023, with lots of great tunes in between. Uncle Dave Macon, the Bluegrass Album Band, Starlett & Big John Talley, John Reischman & the Jaybirds, Jane Germain & Ian Simpson, the Stanley Brothers – some fine selections here.

Mandolinist John Reischman joins me on the show this week. I've actually known John for many years, as he moved to Vancouver in the 90's and when I was starting to do more acoustic music, our paths would cross at festivals and I'd also bring him in for various projects and sessions. John is an absolute master of his instrument with a unique touch and tone that is truly remarkable. He grew up in California and came up in the Bay Area music scene, where he joined The Good Ol' Persons, which was up until then an all-female bluegrass band that featured Kathy Kallick and Sally Van Meter. After touring and recording with them for a couple of years, John scored a gig in the groundbreaking Tony Rice Unit, one of the ultimate ensembles in modern bluegrass and acoustic music. John toured and recorded with Tony for a few years and developed an incredible style that owes almost as much to jazz horn and piano players as well as different kinds of world music as it does to traditional bluegrass, although John certainly can stand up with the best in the world in any traditional setting. The Tony Rice albums Backwaters and Devlin feature this lineup with John's amazing playing. After leaving Tony Rice, John moved to Vancouver, where he formed the Jaybirds, a group he has been performing with now for over 20 years. John also made a solo record during the pandemic called “New Time and Old Acoustic” which features guest appearances by Molly Tuttle, Chris Eldridge, Todd Phillips and many more. It was great to re-connect with John, and get a chance to talk about meeting and playing with Bill Monroe, his coveted mandolin, and his history recording and touring in the world of bluegrass and acoustic music.

A Banjoist's Guide To Marketing with Chris CooleWhat if we told you that to be successful in marketing your music, you did not have to be on social media?  So many musicians struggle to keep up with the content creation process, but what if it wasn't completely necessary?  In today's episode, we talk with Chris Coole, and discuss how he has successfully run marketing for his business with nothing but an email list for almost 3 decades.Listen in as Chris describes how he built a thriving email list and why he only decided to join social media in February of 2020.Learn how to leverage these insights to create a successful marketing plan for your music business.About Chris CooleSince falling in love with the sound of folk and early country music at the age of seventeen, you could loosely divide Chris Coole's 30-year career as a full-time musician into three eras – ten years as a Toronto street and subway busker; ten years playing bluegrass residencies around Toronto's bar scene; and ten years touring internationally; both solo and with the likes of The Lonesome Ace Stringband, The David Francey Band, and The Foggy Hogtown Boys. Throughout this musical journey, Chris has perhaps become best known as being one of the leading purveyors of the modern clawhammer-style banjo. He has developed a highly personal style that has often been described as instantly recognizable.This unique voice on the instrument has not gone unnoticed by his fellow musicians and has led to playing as a collaborator (Ivan Rosenberg, Erynn Marshall, Arnie Naiman), sideman (Jim Cuddy, Natalie McMaster, Justin Rutledge, John Reischman, Sylvia Tyson), or producer (The Slocan Ramblers, David Francey)  on over 200 recordings. Follow Chris on Social Media: Chris Coole WebsiteInstagramYoutube______________Presented by Folk Music OntarioHosted by Rosalyn DennettProduced by Kayla Nezon (Folk Music Ontario), Rosalyn Dennett (Folk Music Ontario), Tim Fraser + Tanya Fraser (Murdoch Entertainment)Recorded by Kayla Nezon, and Jordan Moore of The Pod CabinEdited by Jordan Moore of The Pod CabinTheme music “Amsterdam” by King CardiacArtwork by Jaymie KarnThe ReFolkUs Project is made possible through the generous support of the Department of Canadian Heritage

A contemporary 3-part tune by John Reischman, Little Pine Siskin is played in the key of D. To accommodate a down-the-neck solo the cello banjo allowed me to play it in the equivalent of open G tuning, tuned down four steps. A Pine Siskin is a bird related to a finch. John has an affinity for birds!

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we pay tribute to banjo and bluegrass legend J. D. Crowe with his friend, student, and collaborator, Bill Evans. Crowe passed away on Christmas Eve, 2021, nearly a year, exactly, after the death of his friend and former bandmate, Tony Rice.     Evans is a natural storyteller and educator and was slated to begin filming instruction videos with Crowe for Peghead Nation later this year. He talks about Crowe's impact on bluegrass, his unique style of banjo playing (and how it differed from that of Earl Scruggs), the unique interplay Crowe had with guitarist Tony Rice, and the importance of the 1975 album, 'J. D. Crowe and New South' album (Rounder Records 0044), featuring Crowe, Rice, Jerry Douglas, Ricky Skaggs, and Bobby Slone.   It's an hour-long deep dive into what made one of the world's best banjo player's tick... and a great primer on the subtleties of bluegrass.    Evans has graciously shared one of his Crowe lessons on Peghead Nation: https://www.pegheadnation.com/news-reviews/breaking-news/j-d-crowes-enduring-influence/   This episode is sponsored by BED|STÜ, Izotope (use the discount code FRET10 to save 10% on their amazing software), and Retrofret Vintage Guitars.   Our 49th issue of the Fretboard Journal is now mailing, featuring John Reischman, John Sebastian, Dr. Molly Miller and more.

Sean delivers a story of gridlock, Alabamian sunsets, and equestrian sensibility. With music by John Reischman. 

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we chat with musician, educator, and FJ contributor Tristan Scroggins.  Scroggins has had an eventful month: He won the IBMA 2021 Writer of the Year award for his music journalism and then, just a couple of weeks later, released a truly unique solo album, 'One-Ring Circus.' That album features Scroggins - best known for his mandolin playing - in the midst of a truly wild pandemic project, playing solo instrumental tunes on a vintage tenor (four-string) banjo. It's an amazing undertaking filled with great playing ... and a far cry from what you imagine when you think about "tenor banjo" music. We hear about the making of the record, his decision to release it on cassette (don't worry, it's also on all the streaming platforms), and the Paramount tenor he used for it.    This conversation also goes deep: Scroggins talks about his unusual upbringing, growing up on the road playing mandolin for his dad, banjo player and bandleader Jeff Scroggins. We hear about the pressures of bluegrass competitions, his move to Nashville, mental health, and his decision to stay busy (Scroggins has been steadily releasing some great mandolin instruction books), plus a lot more.   Look for pieces Scroggins penned on John Reischman and Bela Fleck in the Fretboard Journal's next two issues.

Always a great pleasure to have a fellow Veteran join us on The Dismount Podcast. And this time John Reischman joins me for another solid conversation. Not only has it been a great healing process for both of us to reach out to old friends and battle buddies but there's something special that happens for anyone involved in the conversation. One of the biggest take aways I had from this talk was the need to be honest with ourselves and about us. I've once again learned a great deal and leave with new things to reflect on.
