Randolph and Umphrey's!
Review on the always fantastic jambase.com!

Ancient philosopher and wise man Lao Tse once said that “without tradition, there cannot be progression, and no tradition can exist without progress.” Although this sounds rather cryptic at first glance, the Taoist principle holds true today, especially in the realm of modern improvisational music. Perhaps no pairing so far this year has illustrated the validity of this guru’s gander more than the diverse night of music that took place on February 19th in Columbus, OH when the bearers of the torch of precocious progressive rock Umphrey’s McGee were coupled on a double bill with down-home gospel rockers Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Umphrey’s is the definition of cutting edge, yet their music has strong structural foundations in the more avant-garde and technical rock of the 60’s and 70’s. On the other hand, Robert Randolph and the Family Band offer up a conventional palette of sacred steel, blues, and classic rock that is presented in a high energy, vanguard manner.
