A standout artifact from Vermont’s celebrated jazz-fusion scene, Shed captures ViperHouse at their most inventive—merging deep-pocket funk, avant-garde jazz, and fearless reinterpretations of Ellington, Mingus, and Neil Young. Featuring compositions by scene heavyweights Ray Paczkowski (Trey Anastasio Band) and Michael Chorney (Hadestown orchestrator), this independently released album is a must-have snapshot of the state’s rich musical history. A perfect pick for collectors of regional jazz, funk-fusion, and hard-to-find Vermont recordings.
