One of your top jazz-rock fusion ensembles ever, the Dixie Dregs combined virtuoso approach with eclecticism plus a sense of humor and spirit too frequently lacking in similar projects. Guitarist Steve Morse and bassist Andy West played collectively as high-school students in Augusta, GA, in a standard rock band named Dixie Grit. When Morse was expelled from school for refusing to reduce his hair, he enrolled at the University of Miami School of Music, exactly where he met violinist Allen Sloan, who had played together with the Miami Philharmonic, and drummer Rod Morgenstein. The 3 decided to kind a band, and Morse convinced West to come to Miami and join. the Dixie Dregs completed their lineup with keyboardist Steve Davidowski. Their initially album, The Fantastic Spectacular, was recorded for any class project in 1975 and later released by the band (it is lengthy out of print). Following graduation, the quintet began playing live about the South and got its break after opening for Sea Level on 1976, when a representative from Capricorn Records was impressed enough to sign the band. Mark Parrish, a former member of Dixie Grit, replaced Davidowski for their official debut, 1977's Free Fall.
Their follow-up, What If, proved to become one of their most artistically productive albums, along with the Dixie Dregs played in the 1978 Montreux Jazz Festival with T Lavitz replacing Parrish. Half of Evening in the Living Dregs consists of excerpts from that concert. The group shortened its name to the Dregs for 1981's Unsung Heroes, and added each vocalists and three-time national fiddling champ Mark O'Connor, whose old-timey playing style added another dimension for the group's sound, for Business Common. The Dregs then disbanded; the very respected Morse formed his personal band and recorded numerous albums, later joining Kansas from 1986 to 1988, when Morgenstein hooked up with pop-metallists Winger.
The Dregs reunited briefly in 1988 for a series of live dates, but a full-fledged reunion didn't take location until 1992, with Morse, Lavitz, Morgenstein, and Dave LaRue with the Steve Morse Band in West's place. Allen Sloan rejoined only briefly, with his position then filled by ex-Mahavishnu Orchestra member Jerry Goodman. Bring 'Em Back Alive was culled in the group's tour, and 1994's Full Circle was also nicely received. California Screamin' followed in early 2000.
