BLUEGRASS: "Blackjack" J D Crowe, Grisman, Rice (Mark O'Connor's American Music Shop) 

RIP JD and Tony, bluegrass has lost two of the finest. Respect 🙏🏻

RIP J.D. and Tony. This lineup set a new standard for the genre that hasn't been surpassed, yet.

R.I.P. Tony Rice and J.D. Crowe

5 major foundational artists (Crowe, Rice, O'Connor, Grisman and a VERY YOUNG Douglas) in one single stage. They all have influenced how their respective instruments are now played. Thank you Mark, from a Berklee grad that found true love in flatpicking.

The Tony Rice and Jerry Douglas runs were completely ridiculous. And now I know why Bela says that JD was one of this key influences.

R. I. P. J. D Crowe.

Swear I saw sparks come off the neck of Tony's guitar.

RIP JD

I could -- and have -- listen to that man play banjo all day long. I guess my age is showing but I had forgotten that J.D. Crowe had passed away last year. In my mind there's only been one other that makes it look easier and sound better but I never saw him play Blackjack and when I'm in the mood for some high tempo bluegrass this is the one I turn to. RIP J.D. and Tony. Two of the finest to exist.

Gone but not forgotten..R.I.P. ..JD

Please notify me when Bluegrass gets better than this. Talk about an all-star lineup!

TOP players! R.I.P.,Tony

I was watching the first time this aired in 1990. I didn’t know anyone playing. But I’ve been studying each one’s work since then. Thanks for posting Mark!

The intro section and outro of this song takes a step towards sounding like Greek music. That was fun to hear

I loved the American Music Shop. I watched this when it was on TNN.

This is an astounding lineup of Bluegrass pickers!! That fiddle is singing so sweetly!

Ahh, J.D.! Now I need a drink!

That is the God damndest fiddle break to blackjack I have ever heard in my life.

Tony Rice at his peak rip

HELL of a lineup!

Damn, your violin always sounds so sweet... This is wonderful..

Wow!!!

That's how it's done folks. Pure pickin'. A lot of Earl in JD's solo's. Mark, Tony, Jerry as expected.

"That ain't workin, that's the way you do it......"

Unless I’m mistaken, that’s Glenn Worf back there on the bass.

May God in Heaven Forgive me I just love this So.

Is that Derek Trucks on the Dobro?

I´mnot sure, what is David Grisman play on his mandolin, maybe it´s great, but it´s not as melodic to this song, I don´t know. I know Sam bush style playing, so I can´t compare this with his style, It´s almost same what plays Roland White playing, a that is a bulshit

The last of his kind. 🥲
