That refinish with the cream pickups was a very good call, Jazzy. Nice job with the tune too.

Great stuff Jazzy. Those guys wrote some very sophisticated music that somehow resonated with a wide ranging audience.

... Josie by Steely Dan ...


Nice ... and an interesting opportunity to listen to the bass line out front like that.  If I didn't have to go outside and work some more on removing leaves from the driveway I would look up the chord progression and study it while listening to your video again.

  Bill . My old friend , Drummer Brian Melvin got the gig with a long cast of invited players that he contacted to perform with him , I was asked to play 4 Dead tunes out of his lineup of musicians. Brian had introduced me to Jaco Pastorius ,back in the days when he was gigging with him .:)

Cool. Ah, I can see the Tribute poking out from behind the other guitarist.

Just had a set of photos from a photographer at a festival we did early this summer.
The sound of Alembic is medicine for the soul!
