I hope they come to the UK too or I will have to come to the states to see them.... I can't miss them.

They are the band that got me into jazz-fusion.

It looked to me like it was the Strings not RTF. But Al is doing a bunch of dates at The Blue Note in Sept. He's from my home town and my older brother used to jam with him in the early 70's in Memorial Park. (a haven for Dead Heads). Unfortunately he is not celebrated as a favored son. Pity.

I met and played with Al once years ago... (obviously) an incredible player, and a big influence. I'll never forget it, that's for sure.

Doesn't look like dates have been announced but this is a partial quote from Al, ... but 2008 {summer} is RTF !!!!!! Yes,its official and you heard it here first!!!!....

RTF's influence was monumental and I would relish the opportunity to see a reunion!

I agree Wilfred and if the Vertu album with Lenny and Clarkee was anything close to what is in those guys heads now it will be a return to some truly amazing music.

I sent a message to Lenny White on Myspace last night asking about the tour and he confirmed it.

I've got to take this opportunity to ask you...
Is there any truth in the statement AL Dimeola placed on his web site blog that you guys are getting back together as RTF for tour next summer 2008?

I just saw Right of Strings in Glenside PA and Stanley announced a reunion and tour of RTF for next year.
