NEW YORK - Dweezil Zappa will participate in a special tribute to his late
dad, Frank Zappa, while My Morning Jacket, Ryan Adams and the North
Mississippi All-Stars will be among the acts vying for key awards at the
sixth annual Jammy Awards.
The Jammys, which will be held April 20 at The Theater in Madison Square
Garden, honor and celebrate the improvisational music scene and live musical
performances. Each year the show's lineup tends to overshadow the actual
award winners, with buzz-worthy performances from unique pairings of
performers. Past highlights included Buddy Guy and John Mayer, and the
reunion of Black Crowes brothers Chris and Rich Robinson.
Peter Shapiro, one of the show's producers, told The Associated Press on
Thursday that this year's nominees indicate that "we're moving out of the
Grateful Dead, Phish world and into a new era with new bands taking over the
mantle for great live music; the torch is being passed."
My Morning Jacket, the jam band moe. and the eclectic Benevento Russo Duo
are each nominated for three Jammys. Shapiro said the nomination of the rock
group My Morning Jacket "demonstrates this scene embraces music other than
what's at its core."
Other multiple nominees include Ryan Adams, Widespread Panic and the Allman
Brothers.
Among the acts slated to perform are Blues Traveler, Bela Fleck & the
Flecktones, Richie Havens, Savion Glover, Angelique Kidjo and Bettye
Lavette. More acts are to be added to the bill later.
This year's Jammy Awards will kick off the Green Apple Music and Arts
Festival, a four-day music festival at various venues in New York City.

play "I Have Been In You".
