Seis De Mayo

Album 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 he’d originally had in mind when he composed them. Seis de Mayo is that long-anticipated labor of love.

    4.0 out of 5 stars May Surprise Those Not Familar With Anastasio, April 10, 2004
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Seis De Mayo (Audio CD)
    I am a Phish fan and Trey's compositional style is as much a reason why I like Phish's music as is their jamming. So, with that in mind, this album is right up my alley. This is more of a classical album than a rock album. Almost entirely acoustic and most tracks don't even include Trey. People will no doubt whine about how short the album is (not even a half hour long), but it is beautiful from start to finish and is about quality over quantity. There is not one weak track. There are only two tunes that won't sound familiar to Phish fans and they are the first track, Andre The Giant, and the fifth track, Coming To. Both are very cool though. The rest of tunes are arrangements of Phish songs (or parts of Phish songs).

    1 . Andre The Giant: probably the most rock-based arrangement on the album. A very happy tune that is primarily just a Trey acoustic tune. Phish's Mike Gordon plays bass on this track and it is really given its flavor with the addition of the balafon and djembe.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Base hit for Anastasio., April 6, 2004
    By A Customer
    This review is from: Seis De Mayo (Audio CD)
    "Seis De Mayo" is a showcase for the eleven-plus-minute orchestral "Guyute" that closes the album. It is a true classical piece, albeit a little heavy-handed and dramatic. If Speilberg ever made a movie about the death of a hippy in a Phish parking lot, the orchestral Guyute would be his obvious score. The rest of the album, however, is not as great a leap into instrumental composition as I expected. Clocking in at under 29 minutes total, the album is random and generally unexciting. The album's stronger tracks include "The Inlaw Josie Wales" and "Discern (Intro)". "Inlaw" features Trey with a string quartet, but the guitar work is almost exactly what we've all heard before--now with some dissonant string work in the background. "Discern" demonstrates that writing horn sections is Trey's strongest suit outside the guitar. I doubt Trey would deny that this is a self-indulgent project, but I commend him for sharing his...

    4.0 out of 5 stars Symphonic Trey, September 20, 2008

    This review is from: Seis De Mayo (Audio CD)
    Since the reviews about "Seis de Mayo" have been so mixed, I want to put in my two cents. The album features a balance of Phish songs and new compositions. It's really a beautiful listen, but I think that expectations have a strong influence in how "Seis de Mayo" is appreciated. This is orchestral music. This isn't orchestral music in the sense that much of Trey's post-Phish rock has featured light philharmonic brush strokes. This material is 100% symphonic and instrumental. The release kicks things off with 'Andre the Giant.' The West African balafon makes it clear that this will not be a square classical album. Some of the Phish songs on "Seis de Mayo" capitalize on the rich symphonic potential that had always been in the material. For example, the album version of 'Pebbles and Marbles' featured an introduction that always had an orchestral sensibility. Entitled 'Prologue,' the piece lends itself well to this environment. 'The Inlaw Josie Wales' is given a delicate touch as Trey... Read more
