TELLURIDE This small city tucked in the San Juan Mountains boasts two major
summer music festivals: the 32-year-old Telluride Bluegrass Festival (June
16-19), which this year has a what-else-could-you-ask-for lineup of Earl
Scruggs, Alison Krauss, Leo Kottke with Mike Gordon from Phish, Wilco, Jewel,
David Bromberg, and the Stanley Clarke-Bela Fleck-Jean-Luc Ponty trio; and the
Telluride Jazz Celebration (Aug. 5-7), with Dave Holland, John Scofield, Lizz
Wright, Ron Carter and Garage a Trois, which features Charlie Hunter on guitar.

ZOOMA Phish officially disbanded last year, but we all knew we hadn't seen the
last of Trey Anastasio, its bassist [sic]. He headlines this new tour with Ben Harper,
with 20 to 25 acts rotating as opening acts throughout the summer. Dates have
not been announced yet, but the organizers promise at least 28 dates in North
America from June 16 to July 31. www.zoomatour.com.
