TAB の新作というのもなんですが、
先週、ここ数年の音源から15 曲をチョイスして
まとめたアルバム"Burn It Down"がリリースされました。

下に Trey のコメントをそのまま貼り付けてありますが、
本来なら、今春に TAB の新作に取り掛かろうとしていたようですが、
コロナ禍の影響で中止となり、代わりに Trey が自宅で録音したソロ作、
Lonely Trip を発売したようです。

本作は、最も長い演奏でも Sand の 10 分なので、
初めての方でも聴きやすい Live 編集になっています。

TAB の演奏は Horn が入るので、
Phish の曲も違う印象になるので、
Undermind の演奏なんかは、
TAB らしい演奏になっており楽しい。

どの曲もいつの演奏なのかは調査していませんが、
とても自然な流れで構成されており好感が持てます。

Note:
"Over the past few years there’s been an indescribable momentum with TAB.
The band seems to get tighter with each successive tour.
This past January, we were firing on all cylinders,
and it was reflected in the faces of the people coming to the shows.
I could feel it and see it every single night —
the intensity of the dancing, the smiles on people’s faces, the feeling of unity.
So immediately after that tour,
I put plans in motion to begin a TAB album in the spring.
The pandemic changed those plans, and when everything was cancelled,
I began working at home on what would later become Lonely Trip.
Meanwhile, my friend Vance Powell,
who produced this new TAB album, called and told me
there was already enough great material on tape
from the January tour to make the best TAB album ever,
and make it a live album. So he started sending me mixes.
I loved them. We both agreed that Burn It Down,
a line from the song ‘Set Your Soul Free,’
was the perfect title, because it encapsulated exactly
what had been happening onstage every night.
When I listen to this album, it reminds mehow much I miss playing live music.
In some ways, it’s hard for me to listen for that reason.
I can’t wait to experience this again. I miss it so much."
