When The Classic jam Meets Today's Music : Umphrey's Mcgee

I don't think I speak more often about any band during my day. The only band T shirt I will ever wear is Umphrey's Mcgee's "Nothing To Fancy" shirt.
Umphrey's Mcgee is a 7 piece jam/prog band. It's music that has taken the old theory of jazz and applied it to more modern types of music such as progressive rock and metal. Of course they never forget their jam roots and always play with real funk and style. They are some of the most talented all around musicians I have ever seen at a live show. Jake Cinniger and Brendan Bayliss are guitar geniuses, maybe not so much lyrically though, Ryan Stasik hold his own with some really funky improv bass and they really hit the old school by having a piano/synth for old school jams like "Woman Wine and Song"
They are none for their instrumental piece "Nothing To Fancy". It is full on improv and in my opinion one of my favorite pieces of music I have heard in a long time. Take a gander and see if you can see yourself downloading shows from nugs.net!
