Their musical history dates back to college days at New York University circa 1963 when the Greenwich Village folk revival was in its' heyday. They made their first recording together as members of the Even Dozen Jug Band with future luminaries Maria Muldaur, Stefan Grossman and others. The rest, of course is musical history. John Sebastian became lead singer and songwriter of one of America's most popular bands - the Lovin' Spoonful and David Grisman spearheaded an acoustic music revolution with his genre-defying "Dawg" music.
Finally, after a 40+ year hiatus, their paths crossed again at a benefit concert in Mill Valley, California. After this mutually enjoyable evening of spontaneous music, it became obvious that they would continue collaborating and the result is Satisfied - a stunning collection of acoustic duets featuring traditional folk tunes, blues, classy instrumentals and originals by these two legendary masters.
"Good music doesn't get much nicer and friendlier than this recent collaboration between mandolin master Grisman and former Lovin' Spoonful frontman Sebastian. These guys played together with Maria Muldaur and other future stars of folk in The Even Dozen Jug Band more than 40 years ago. On this album they sound like they've been playing together forever. My favorite songs are covers of Mississippi John Hurt: "I'm Satisfied,"plus "Coffee Blues," the song that gave Sebastian's famous band its name ("I've just got to have me my lovin' spoonful")." – Steve Terrell
