Last night was one of those gigs - one for the memory banks. Super fun! The sound wasn't great - either on stage or in the house - but we definitely blew the roof off the place. A lotta history there; Todd Rundgren's studio Utopia, Albert Grossman (who built the Bearsville Complex), etc. Great vibes, great hang. Opening set with Jesse Gress (Todd Rundgren's guitarist) was some of the most pure fun I've had onstage in a while. :)

Every so often, something interesting happens...to me. (I mean , LOTS of interersting things are happening all the time, right?) This time it seems like something extraordinary - my picture, along with the Mahavishnu Project, in JazzTImes magazine!

But, as usually happens, it's not all roses & glory. There are no NAMES listed with the picture. That this has happned to me multiple times means I've gone from excitement, to frustration, to resignation. But it's still pretty damn cool, so I'm posting a scan pf the page here. The musicians in the picture are, rom left to right:

Zach Brock (Violin); Neil Alexander (me); Gregg Bendian (drums, leader); Chad MCLoughlin (Guitar); Jim Cammack (bass).

What's even funnier (or not so funny, depending n your point of view) is that Jim is no longer with us, being replaced by Peter Brendler almost a year ago. Ah, the joy of press. :)

Here ya go:
