Amazon.com It wasn't long after the recording of this, Trey Anastasio's third--and most warmly idiosyncratic--solo album, that the Phish frontman/guitarist announced that his improvisation-fueled, cult-fave band would record no more. Longtime Phish-heads (or admirers of Anastasio's previous free-form jazz excursions with Les Claypool and Stewart Copeland and more conventional solo work) may find this ambitious, if occasionally precious, immersion into instrumental concert music proper both familiar (it includes mature arrangements of several previous Phish tracks, including the expanded, 66-piece-strong orchestral centerpiece "Guyute") and insightfully intriguing. Though he is better known for his adventurous, improvisational bent, the recordings here argue that Anastasio's is a more precise musical soul than the occasionally madcap antics of his band might suggest. It would be too easy--and ultimately unfair--to describe these eclectic outings as cinematic. Indeed, they draw on influences that suggest more than a passing acquaintance not only with American classical icons such as Ives (the nervous, colliding melodies and pan-tonalism of "Coming To," the skewed string quartet of "All Things Reconsidered") and Copland ("Guyute"), but also more recent national treasures such as Van Dyke Parks ("Andre the Giant"'s playful Caribbean rhythms, the neo-baroque stateliness of "Prologue") and Randy Newman (the pastoral grace of "The Inlaw Josie Wales") as well. --Jerry McCulley Product Description Trey Anastasio has built a career of extraordinary stylistic scope as the singer and guitarist of Phish and as a solo artist of wide horizons. Now Trey shows yet another side with Seis de Mayo, an album of instrumental pieces. Anastasio has been writing in this vein throughout and even before his career with Phish. That will likely come as no surprise to hardcore fans who know that a number of band favorites were composed pieces that the other members learned from Anastasio via stacks of notated staff paper. Trey imagined that he might someday compile an album of these pieces as performed by the sorts of ensembles - string quartets, brass quintets, small and full orchestras hed originally had in mind when he composed them. Seis de Mayo is that long-anticipated labor of love.ASIN: B0001HAIKE
