The first all-instrumental solo album from the lead singer, guitar player, and primary songwriter of the uber-jam band Phish, Trey Anastasio's SEIS DE MAYO is a relaxed and thoughtful foray into the world of orchestral music. Kicking off with a brief, jaunty track that prominently features the unusual sounds of the balafon (an African instrument similar to a marimba), the record goes on to tackle a wide range of styles. This broad palette includes everything from full-blown modern orchestral pieces (an arrangement of Phish's "Guyute" is a particular highlight) to delicate acoustic guitar and string quartet vignettes that strongly recall the lovely Robert Kirby-arranged songs on Nick Drake's BRYTER LAYTER. With a distinctive Americana undercurrent that brings to mind the work of classical composer Aaron Copland, SEIS DE MAYO largely eschews Anastasio's improvisational leanings, making it one of the most emotionally resonant works in his extensive catalog.

Editorial Reviews
[The album's] stately orchestral arrangements transcribe Anastasio's guitar-driven rock for the concert hall. - Rating: B
Entertainment Weekly (04/09/2004)

3 stars out of 5 - SEIS DE MAYO is a mix of new originals and old Phish songs done with classical instrumentation, skipping persuasively from Dixieland to string quartet to way-ambitious orchestral to tony dinner music...
