I've always respected Grossman as a musicologist, though I think he has tended to overplay his undoubtedly close linkk with Davis.

I am dismayed to hear about his spat with Bookbinder, who for my money is the more accomplished musician. As I've said somewhere before on Mudcat, To some this will sound heretical, but Stefan IMO is not quite there as a guitarist. Particularly on his live recordings, but also in the studio, his tempi are a bit erratic, with a distinct tendancy to race at the hard bits. Where this occurs, it creates an impression that he is at the limit of his virtuosity, whereas Bookbinder, to me, always seems to have everything under effortless control.

All the same, I certainly hope Ron's WFDU Davis/Grossman piece can be made available via Mudcat.
