Phish: Phish: At The Roxy
by Doug Collette
Because Phish have announced their reformation with three shows due in March of 2009, after four years away, there's a certain circular logic that extends to the history behind the 8-CD set At the Roxy.

He even produced a Louis Armstrong tribute--Dear Louis (Verve, 2001)--and did an album working with the classy Armstrong contemporary Doc Cheatham--Doc ...

by AAJ Staff
Kevin Shea at Barbes Building an evening around Kevin Shea is a bit like staking a tent pole in a rockslide. He has a way of keeping time while playing seemingly unconnected fills and a stage persona that makes Han Bennink look like Bud Abbott. But he was the common denominator at Barb's Mar. 12th, when ...
