I heard from a kid who was taking lessons from him that he was jamming with a jazz band in a small club in NY on a sort of regular basis.
I hope he is still doing that, I'd love to go check them out!
Alex, I hope you enjoyed your Birthday. In your honor, my son and his friend (who is a kick-ass guitarist) spent most of the day playing Testament songs (your leads are an inspiration to many young guitarists).Both guys are awesome musicians and avid Testament fans who can play songs from every album to perfection!
Wishing you a belated Happy Birthday, Alex!
It's truly been an honor to play your solos for Testament these last few years, and in the next next years to come as well!!!
Hope to see you in SF when you come through with your trio!!!
