The 11-track set not only marks their long-awaited return to the studio, but also Kottke’s first album since their previous collaboration, 2005’s Sixty Six Steps.

The duo-with an assist from Fishman on a few songs-released Noon, their third full-length album and first in 15 years, in late August on Megaplum/ATO. Of course, Gordon and Kottke eventually did connect and, for going on 20 years, they have been at the heart of one of the most beloved side-projects in the Phish orbit. After that show-especially after hearing Leo speak between songs-I thought, ‘Oh, my God, I can’t believe there’s another person on earth that’s got the same sense of humor as Mike.’” It would be so good, it’d be illegal.’ I had the same thought about Mike and Leo. “I remember reading in Miles Davis’ autobiography that he had had an appointment to meet with Jimi Hendrix that never happened and I thought, ‘If they ever met, then that might be the end of the world. “I came away from that concert saying to myself, ‘Man, Mike Gordon and Leo Kottke should never meet-if they ever met, that might be the end of the world,’” Fishman says between cackles a few decades later, checking in from his home in Maine, months into the novel coronavirus pandemic. The drummer-who had recently co-founded Phish with Trey Anastasio, Mike Gordon and Jeff Holdsworth-had been listening to the lauded acoustic guitarist’s music since high school and was particularly mesmerized by his reading of The Byrds’ classic “Eight Miles High.” But the nascent Phish member still left that seminal performance with an unexpected realization.

Sometime in the 1980s, Jon Fishman saw Leo Kottke perform for the first time at the tiny Burlington, Vt., club Hunt’s.
