"Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay - and claims a halo for his dishonesty." ~Robert A. Heinlein

Grisman is excellent. He mixes jazz into his mandolin playing. Grisman is one of a kind.
Try some Chris Thile, too, for another modern take. Thile is amazing.
Ricky Skaggs is a very fine mandolin player in a more traditional style.
Ronnie McCoury, who plays in Del McCoury's band, kills it.
And, of course, the Big Mon, Bill Monroe. Monroe played a little different than most modern players, but in a way that you have to know what to listen for. He used only down strokes, which gave him a subtly different, but unmistakable, sound.
The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything.

Brittany Haas on fiddle, plays really nice. Her solo is before Bibee.
Alan kind of rubbed me the wrong way at a fest but I hear he's a nice guy. Jake Howard is definitely overtaking him, though.

Alright I’ll play.
Here’s an oldie, but proverbial goodie of David Grisman with Jerry Garcia, Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements and John Kahn.
I think Sam Bush should be mentioned

I never got to see Thile or Monroe,
I've seen Grisman at least 1/2 dozen times, and the McCoury's as well as many times,
a really good show just pre cooties was Del and Dave together, that was excellent,
saw Ricky once with Kentucky Thunder,
ETA, Grisman plays with just about anybody,
he also works to get as much as possible recorded,
