Kyle Hollingsworth - "Never Odd Or Even" (Sci Fidelity, 2004)
It didn't take long for this jazz record by String Cheese Incident keyboardist Kyle Hollingsworth to make an impression on me. While I'm not a huge fan of jam bands and never really appreciated groups like Phish for the geniuses their fans make them out to be, it is clear that Hollingsworth is in his element here, especially on extended jams like "Seventh Step," which reminds me of some of Jethro Tull's more avant-garde material. And "Bam!," which features the brilliant Joshua Redman on saxophone, is a great example of how to blend the jam band musical ethos with jazz experimentation. This one's definitely worth checking out.
