Maybe Reg can supply his name.
Certainly it’s hard to imagine a mandolin not sounding joyous. But it can sound fussy, fidgety, manic...Which reminds me:
There’s an early TS Eliot poem that includes the couplet
the pleasant whine
of a mandoline...
Nice version of Pent-Up House in any case!

Speaking of joyous sounds from a jazz mandolin, here's David Grisman (mandolin) and Martin Taylor (guitar) from the Tone Poems II album in 1995 on "Here's That Rainy Day."

I also always enjoyed the Jazz Mandolin Project led by Jamie Masefield. Perhaps more jam band then jazz. Always loved this song which has a definite Metheny vibe to my ears:
-
One more with the Missing Man Quartet and their Mandolin player, Tom, and our Reg on guitar.
-
Michael Lampert has released a fairly new album. He is strictly on electric four string solid body mandolin here, accompanied by a very fine guitarist, also first rate bassist and drummer.
-
Eva Scow on her Godin.

I hadn't heard of Eva Scow, a fine mandolinist. Thanks for the post.

Isaac Eicher.

Eicher is another I haven't heard of. The violinist, Jason Anick, is equally as good on mandolin.

Here's the same tune by an earlier version of the Missing Man Quartet.
BTW, the band name makes more sense when there are 3 people in the band.
