The Undectet (meaning 11-piece band) is backed by the rhythm section of Tony Hall, one of New Orleans' finest bass players, with longtime collaborator Jeff Sipe on drums. Trey and Jeff have a longstanding musical history, dating back to the early days of Phish circa 1990-1993 when they toured almost exclusively with the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Old friend Ray Paczkowski (keyboards) completes the core quartet with fellow Vermonters Jennifer Hartswick and Christina Durfee on backing vocals. A full horn section rounds out the band, featuring Dave "The Truth" Grippo on Alto/Baritone Sax, Peter Apfelbaum on Tenor/Baritone Sax and Flute, and Russell Remington on Tenor Sax/Flute along with newcomer and Santana Alumni Jeff Cressman on Trombone. Taking it up one more notch, world renowned percussionist Cyro Baptista came aboard to complete the 11-piece band. The band's New Year's performance at the House of Blues in Atlantic City is immortalized on "Original Boardwalk Style", a live album released in 2008 to benefit the Seven Below Arts Foundation.
