The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
The same style is coalescing in the Blossom Sally, the Camden R&R, and the Super Ball IX Golden Age -- all from summer 2011 too.
What I'm looking for, btw, isn't a 2009 jam that sounds vaguely similar. To my ears 'storage jamming' (not a good name but whatever) is a way of combining unusual-for-Phish harmonic freedom and really busy rhythm work from Fish, specifically without causing the jam to decay (as in, say, the 12/29/09 Tweezer). As if the Albany '09 Seven Below reached that incredible crest around the 11:00 mark and KEPT GOING into that scary harmonic-superposition space instead of cooling out into major chords behind Page's piano playing. It seems to me it's a principle, to stick with a specific kind of sonic space without going for Phishy resolution (or just dicking around as in so goddamn many mid-90s 'psychedelic' jams).
