The Jazz Mandolin Project - Tour De Flux CD

When Jamie Masefield chose a lineup that included Phish drummer and old college compadre, Jon Fishman, he shored up his position as favored jazz son of the jam band culture.

But, despite what appeared to outsiders as a transparent attempt to curry audience favor, Masefield and Fishman were serious jazz players. And with seasoned New York jazzman Chris Dahlgren rounding out the trio on upright bass, they hammered that fact home for sixteen nights last January and February, traversing the eastern half of the United States on the aptly named Tour de Flux.
