Phish - Jam with Rock, Jazz and Prog


Phish is an American rock band noted for their musical improvisation, extended jams, blending of musical genres, and dedicated fan base. Formed at the University of Vermont in 1983 (with the current line-up solidifying in 1986), the band's four members—Trey Anastasio (guitars, lead vocals), Mike Gordon (bass, vocals), Jon Fishman (drums, percussion, vocals), and Page McConnell (keyboards, vocals)—performed together for over 20 years before going on hiatus in August 2004. They reunited in March 2009 for Phish in Hampton, a series of three consecutive concerts played in the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia, and have since resumed performing regularly. Phish's music blends elements of a wide variety of genres, including rock, jazz, progressive rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, funk, folk, bluegrass, and blues. Due to the band's improvisational style, their concerts are original in terms of the order and selection of songs and the way each song and set are performed[clarification needed].


Although the band has received little radio play or mainstream exposure, Phish has developed a large and dedicated following by word of mouth, the exchange of live recordings, and selling over 8 million albums and DVDs in the United States. Rolling Stone stated that the band helped to "...spawn a new wave of bands oriented around group improvisation and super-extended grooves". They remain a very popular and successful touring act.

Em resumo: O SOM É BOM, OUVE AÌ...



Fuego is an album by the American rock band Phish. Released on June 24, 2014, it was their twelfth official studio album and their first in five years, since 2009's Joy. The album is a mix of rock, soul, reggae and bluegrass. Fuego was recorded in late 2013 in Nashville, Tennessee after a series of writing sessions at the Barn in Vermont and was produced by Bob Ezrin (Pink Floyd, Lou Reed, Peter Gabriel). While Fuego's ten new tracks include songs that individual members brought to the table in usual Phish fashion, the bulk of the material was written by all four, working together at the Barn, often writing in a stream-of-consciousness style.

  2. Só conheço um ao vivo, no qual o grupo consegue fazer de uma vulgar música pop, ou reggae , com refrões bem banais, numa delícia de improvisos, como Hammill disse. Tenho um cd ao vivo, digipack, duplo. Isso é que é disco ao vivo, com improvisações, bem melhor do que muitos álbuns aclamados de tantos medalhões,que improvisam em uma ou outra música. E ainda abortam, reduzem algumas canções. E fazem meddleis insuportáveis.

  5. E aí? Olha a moçada aí... Java, tá mandando bem nos posts. Deixei uns no forno. Peter, suas dicas/recomendações são excelentes. Grato por compartilhar sua sapiência musical, além disso, também sou um grande fã de Jean Giraud (acho que é assim que se escreve). Grão Mestre Valvulado, "bão" te ver aqui. Um abraço a todos.
