Tony Rice is perhaps the greatest innovator in acoustic flat-picked
guitar playing today. His output spans the range from straight-ahead bluegrass
to jazz-inflected "new acoustic" music. Over the course of his career
he has played and recorded with virtually every luminary in bluegrass, including
J.D. Crowe and the New South, The David Grisman Quintet, Norman Blake, Ricky
Skaggs, his brothers Larry and Wyatt Rice and the supergroup known as the Bluegrass
Album Band. His many solo albums and those with his cutting-edge group, The Tony
Rice Unit, have created new standards for the acoustic guitar. Today, Tony Rice
remains one of bluegrass' top instrumentalists, bringing originality, vitality
and mind-boggling virtuosity to everything he plays.
