Rhino Entertainment and J. Garcia Records will release the first-ever Jerry Garcia 2-disc career retrospective titled 'The Very Best of Jerry Garcia' on September 26, 2006.

Acoustic or electric, solo or side project; Jerry Garcia was prolific during his breaks from the Grateful Dead. Between 1972 and 1982, Garcia recorded five historic studio albums and jammed with a revolving cast of musicians in the Jerry Garcia Band. Rhino/J. Garcia Records salute the rich talents of an incomparable music icon with the first-ever compilation spotlighting Garcia's solo work.

Highlights from his five solo studio records provide the foundation of the first disc, while the second disc serves as a comprehensive compilation of seminal solo performances dating from the early '70s all the way into the '90s. The Very Best of Jerry Garcia will be available September 26 at all retail outlets and at www.jerrygarcia.com and www.rhino.com.
