Take a guitarist with sick fusion chops who cut his teeth in the Zambi meets Zappa madness of the Aquarium Rescue Unit (under the mentorship of Col. Bruce Hampton), put him next to former Dixie Dregs keyboard whiz T Lavitz, add the muscular funk drumming of Little Feat’s Richie Hayward and top it off with the highwire bass precision of Adam Nitti and you’ve got the Justice League of America. This one-off quartet toured only once for two weeks in January 2000, thrilling audiences in hippie bars on the east coast with choice instrumental covers of Grateful Dead (Dark Star & Morning Dew), Little Feat (Times Loves a Hero), The Meters (Cissy Strut) and more. 2 performances from Wetlands (R.I.P.) in New York City have just come into circulation and both are very much worth your time and bandwidth. These are very crisp soundboards, and fans of any of the aforementioned bands (and fusion fans in general) will be very pleased by what they here. You can download both for free:
