Widespread Panic: Another Joyous Occasion
by Rob Evanoff
Let’s investigate a simple but joyous jamband formula, the LIVE album. The live setting is where jambands make their mark and carry folks to another dimension of elation. Add to this formula; special guest appearances and extended re-workings of classic songs and you end up with another joyous occasion to celebrate. If done properly, the listener ...
Unified Theory: Unified Theory
by Rob Evanoff
I can feel the impending wrath of these next comments, but at the end of last year, I ceremoniously picked my albums of the decade and found it hard not to putBlind Melon’sdebut album among them. That opus had a simplicity to it, ingrained within melodic hippie rock, and it kept re-appearing in my life and ...
The Dukes of Jazzard: Half-Gallon Nut
by Rob Evanoff
Is the Half-Gallon glass half full or half empty? Or is it half and half? I would hazard to guess that the glass is bottomless. It would have to be to contain all ingredients thatThe Dukes of Jazzardpour in. Recorded live in November ’99 at the famousBoiler Roomin New Orleans, The Dukes of Jazzard dump a ...
Beenie Man: Art and Life
by Rob Evanoff
Art and Life appear to be fraternal twins. Ever consider how interwoven art and life are? And how each continues to mutate and re-emerge as generations whisk by? History will one day reaffirm Hip-Hop as the only true descendant of Jazz by its prevailing influence on the creative arts and its spot-on reflection of culture and ...
the Jazz Mandolin Project: Xenoblast

The Jazz Mandolin Project, who are at home at the Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival or a Jamband Festival such as the Berkshire Mountain Music Fest, return with ...
Ponticello: Dark Skies
by Rob Evanoff
Embrace theDark Skiesas they loom overhead. The swirling foreboding begins immediately on the first track of Ponticello’s debut as vocalist/ bassist Ted Kamp emotes “Come On and Listen to My Heart Break” while violinist Chris Murphy and percussionist/ drummer Sean Shacklett let ripples of moody despair ooze out and slither within your sensory space. Indeed, this ...
D'Angelo: Voodoo
by Rob Evanoff
What’s a reviewer to do when all he does is stew aboutVoodoo? Being out of the loop, not having heard of Michael “D’Angelo” Archer until late last century, witnessing the pre-release anticipation but shunning it as my jaded exterior is impervious to the manipulation machine. Months go by, and everyone is talking about him, his “Untitled” ...
Phish: Farmhouse
by Rob Evanoff
The Grateful Dead may well have laid the foundation for the evolution of the jamband genre but the Ben & Jerry’s torch has melted the minds of a new generation as Cherry Garcia drips down the granola cone and coagulates, becoming Phish Food. Vermont’s finest export, and premiere jamband on the planet, returns to the Farmhouse ...
Pearl Jam: Binaural
by Rob Evanoff
Is Pearl Jam a Jamband? They always have been. They were mis-labeled grunge because they were, in some ways, in the right place at the right AND wrong time, which put the band on a oft-times deserving course of superstardom but which they have consciously steered away from. And exactly what happens to the voice of ...
