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. Is there ever time to go skiing? Bluegrass Festival (800)624-2422 or www.bluegrass.com; Jazz Celebration (970)728-7009 or www.telluridejazz.com.

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.
