A unique Phish tribute act is getting ready to hit the road and release an album with some incredible musicians. Brothers Adam and Matthew Chase of Phish tribute Strange Design have taken the “Jazz Is Dead” concept and molded it into their own Jazz Is Phish lineup, which features members of Snarky Puppy, The Giant Country Horns, Dave Matthews Band, Victor Wooten Band, and the Sun Ra Arkestra.

Jazz Is Phish is ready to explore the framework of Phish’s music alongside the basic tenets of jazz music and take the music to new heights in a completely instrumental setting. With some extremely well-versed and talented musician’s helping to record the album proper, such as saxophonist Jeff Coffin (Dave Matthews Band/Bela Fleck), saxophonist Chris Bullock (Snarky Puppy), trombonist Don Glasgo (The Giant Country Horns), trumpeter Michael Ray (Sun Ra, Sun Ra Arkestra, Kool and the Gang), bassist Anthony Wellington (Victor Wooten Band), keyboardist/composer/producer Josh Thomas, and both Adam and Matthew Chase (Strange Design) rounding out the lineup on drums and bass, respectively, this is going to be one amazing musical experience.

The live band hit the road in September for several already confirmed shows with a lineup that will feature some of the musician’s from the album, as well as additional prominent musician’s from the jazz and jam world. The group begins a 3-night run starting in Asheville at The Grey Eagle Sept. 9th, then onto Macon, GA’s Cox Capitol Theatre, and finishing up in Atlanta at Smith’s Olde Bar. Additional dates will be announced soon. Check out the Jazz Is Phish Facebook Page for additional information.
