The new album Voices is out
in the US. And then I've put an extract of the

the moment is called "Voices", but don't pin me down on
that. In march he will play a week at Catalina's in LA, USA.
January '01
Gee, no news since last september? Well, the fact is that nothing
much has happened. I've added some long-due
pictures to the page, including some nice
photos from the gig in Göttingen
last year and a tablature for Like Someone in
Love. Regarding touring, there will be a
european tour in spring. In the
meantime, Mike's working on a new album, that - according to some -
will be quite special. Jim Beard is the producer, and he also play
keys. Bass guitar and vocals are handled by Richard Bona, Vinnie
Colaiuta is the drummer. Mike Brecker plays one tune, for the rest
Bob Franceschini plays the saxophone.
