Andy Statman is, by anyone's standards, one of the finest mandolin players in the United States. We find it interesting that Wikipedia gives him primary credit for being a klezmer clarinetist (Wiki doesn't capitalize the K) and then, oh yes, also as a bluegrass/newgrass mandolinist. We, who have been lucky to have known him since the late '60s, stand in awe of his prodigious talent.
