I’ve been listening to the new double CD of highlights from the Black Tie-Dye Ball with the Zen Tricksters and friends.
From the online store page:
On November 12, 2005, The Zen Tricksters and Special Guests Mickey Hart, Donna Jean Godchaux, David Nelson, Tom Constanten, Michael Falzarano, Rob Barraco, Greg Anton, David Mackay and Wendy Lanter, came together for the first ever NYC Rex Foundation Black Tie-Dye Ball Benefit and created a night of incredible musical chemistry. Recorded LIVE at the Concert Hall , New York Society of Ethical Culture. This Two Disk Set captures the amazing energy of the concert. All the proceeds of the sale of this CD go to the Rex Foundation.
The ZT-Donna Jean collaboration was the genesis of a new band, Kettle Joe’s Psychedelic Swamp Review: the Tricksters, Donna jean, the wondderful keyboardist Mookie Siegel (of David Nelson Band fame), and singer Wendy Lanter (whose CD was produced by the Tricksters’ Tom Circosta). The band is performing this weekend at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park in northeastern Ohio, along with the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Hot Tuna, Dark Star Orchestra, myself, and many others.
The Black Tie-Dye Ball CD sounds great, and so does this new band. Check ’em out!
