About
Cemeteries are fascinating places. They are, in fact, peaceful, welcoming -- and full of wonderful stories. In Grave Trippers, brothers Vincent and Robert Gardino visit gravesites around the country to re-discover the remarkable people who are buried there. Grave Trippers is part Biography, part Mythbusters, and part Car Talk, where the Gardino brothers blend genuine love and in depth knowledge of history with sharp sibling interplay to bring their subjects vividly to life.
The series roams from the “jazz corner” of NYC’s Woodlawn cemetery -- where Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, and Lionel Hampton are buried a few feet from each other – to Arlington National – where the Gardinos are joined by special guest appearances by individuals, who will forever be associated with the persons they will be invited to speak about.
