"It's been such a fun process introducing the music of Phish to players from different musical backgrounds and getting to enjoy their unique interpretation of the arrangements," says Adam Chase, leader of Jazz Is Phsh. "Hearing Dennis Chambers, Jeff Coffin, Michael Ray, Kofi Burbridge, Chris Bullock, Grant Green Jr., Jonathan Scales, Carl Gerhard, Anthony Wellington etc., put their flavor into the music has been fun for me both as a musician and as a fan of Phish. I am excited for everyone to hear what we created together. I am proud to have been able to bring all these musicians together and honored just to be a part of it."
The all-star Phish tribute band is currently on the road for a series of unforgettable performances, showcasing a wheel of exemplary musicians, celebrating a beloved, 34-year catalog. The band performed last night in Atlanta, with dates through the end of April, culminating with a show here at Philadelphia's World Café Live on 4/20 sponsored by Oskar Blues Brewery. The Jazz Is PHSH live show collects a rotating cast of esteemed musicians, fully embraced by the phan community and known to impress. Information regarding the remaining tour dates (below) and featured musicians can be found at http://jazzisphish.com/tour-dates/.
Jazz is PHSH is a collective of innovative jazz and jam musicians, who re-invent the music of Phish into a jazz-inspired, improvisational, instrumental soundscape. The group celebrates Phish through a jazz filter, adding the perfect addition of horns to the music with an intense focus on legitimacy and un-matched musicianship. Jazz is PHSH's authenticity is underscored by its lineup - featuring musicians who have toured with Phish and Trey Anastasio Band. The group has included such renowned musicians as Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band), Dennis Chambers, Kofi Burbridge (Tedeschi Trucks Band), Chris Bullock (Snarky Puppy),Carl Gerhard (Phish's Giant Country Horns), Michael Ray (Phish's Cosmic Country Horns who appeared on Phish's popular 'A Live One' album), budding pianist Holly Bowling, Scott Flynn (Pretty Lights Live Band), among other powerhouse musicians - with the Chase Brothers at the helm.
