Phil Lesh (born March 15, 1940 in Berkeley, California) is a musician and a founding member of The Grateful Dead, with whom he played bass for the entire 30-year career.After the group disbanded in 1995, Lesch continued the tradition of Grateful Dead music with a side project of the family of Phil Lesch and friends who paid tribute to the music of the dead, playing their originals, covers common, and songs from members of his group. Phil Lesh tickets and friends helped to support a legitimate entity for music groups to continue, and according to many fans as the prime-band.Although Dead Lesch began as a violinist in high school, he switched to trumpet. The study by Bob Hansen, he had a keen interest in avant-garde classical music and free jazz, he also studied under the Italian modernist Luciano Berio at Mills College (classmates included minimalist composer Steve Reich, and future Dead keyboardist Tom Constanten).
