H.O.R.D.E., which has built a reputation over the past four years as a haven for tie-dyed twentysomethings, has a solid lineup featuring Blues Traveler and Lenny Kravitz.

On track after track, soloists of different generations find a common groove. On Froggy Bottom, altoist Newman, 66, and guitarist Whitfield, 29, turn out to speak...
