A newly remastered collection of Jerry Garcia studio leftovers, “Front Street Outtakes,” released by his ex-wife Manasha Garcia this month includes recordings from a 1994 session featuring the Grateful Dead guitarist collaborating with Indian American guitarist Sanjay Mishra.
The songs on the set are culled from one of Garcia’s last recording projects at the Grateful Dead’s iconic Club Front Studios, using recordings left behind during the making of his Mishra’s 1995 album, “Blue Incantation,” released the same year Garcia died of a heart attack while in recovery at a drug treatment center.
