In recent years he was solo active and involved in various projects such asBang Tower    What Jones with the fusion quartet MJ12 sounds - named after a group of scientists from the 40 who were investigating UFOs - the sound approach in many of the nine tracks Brand X, only more experimental with an emphasis on jazz. As in 'Call 911' and 'Bad American Dream Pt.2.Influence of Weather Report also there as in the excellent track "The Phantom Maracas" and "Guns and Pussy. His bass playing is still phenomenal and special and supporting his buddies Stephen Moses (drums), Dave Phelps (guitars) and Chris Bacas (saxophone) is also high.Special mention should 'Magic Mist and Magic Mist Reprise' the base a sweltering, ambient theme.Great album for lovers of somewhat busy jazz-rock.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?
