Sweet! As I live in DeKalb & Fareed teaches at NIU Shool of Music (where I was Recording Supervisor during my undergrad) - and owns the building that houses the local "hip venue" - I've seen him a number of times. My favorite? When I came to see Shakedown Street in Denver & Math Games was on the other stage.
For those of you who don't know, Math Games is one of Fareed's projects, and Shakedown Street is Edwin's Dead band. Fareed sat in with them; quite nice!
