Close to the Edge, Red, One of a kind, Discipline, Earthworks, The Sound of Surprise, all seem to me to be albums that captured the essence of the intention.

People come with expectations and as a bandleader I constantly try to remind the audience to leave its expectations in the lobby.

We used to drink an awful lot of alcohol.

I don't really remember a whole lot of sex, drugs and rock n' roll, really.

And I like messing around in the engine room of music. Seeing what happens in the rhythm section area.

A rock band used to be four guys and a drummer. Now it's five guys sitting around reading manuals!

My harmony is passable but is usually made more eloquent at the hands of Steve Hamilton.
