CoMando Sessions - Volume I and II

Members of the internet discussion group CoMando have collectively produced two fine CDs that highlight a wide variety of styles. The project was spearheaded by Sean Grexa. Besides being a fine mandolin player himself, Sean produced the CD and obviously put in countless hours behind the scenes on this project. Bravo Sean!

Ray Murphy of the Artos Design Group, Inc. was responsible for the CoMando logo above and the CD artwork.

The styles and selections are as widely varied as you might expect from this many individual performers. In an effort to avoid copyright issues most of the members stuck to original material and that to my ears is a real treat.

Here's how you can purchase and it comes with my highest recommendation.

Vol. I - $10
Vol. II - $10
Vol. I & II- $15
