Tom Alexander Music

November 15, 2007

Lots going on with the radio/media half of my life which has taken some precious time away from creating music. 

BUT - I’ve been rehearsing with Tommy G. Lee as frequently as possible and we’re putting together a lot of new material to debut right after the new year.  We also are planning on bringing a bass player into the fold.  T2 plus 1 - I guess. 

We expect to make 2008 a banner year for T2 with fiery, fabulous fusion at it’s finest.

This past Saturday I was on hand for the 50th birthday party of my friend and T2 bandmate, Tommy G. Lee.  Lots of friends stopped by Tommy’s home to celebrate.  As expected, a few musicians were there as well and an impromtu jam kicked into high with Tommy on drums and Joe Zeytoonian and Brian B on percussion.  I hopped behind my wall of keyboards and it was on — Loose, fun and energetic like every music gig should be.  But this was just playing in the living room — something I don’t get to do very often.  Tommy celebrated his 50th birthday doing exactly what he loves to do, play music surrounded by friends.  Happy Birthday T!!

It’s been one month since the passing of legendary keyboard wizard, Joe Zawinul.  There’s no way to measure the impact Joe had on the music world.  But in the past couple of weeks, I’ve seen countless posts on music websites and blogs touting that very thing.  He left a huge musical legacy.  But, save some underground, unreleased tracks, that’s it.  The finality has sunk in with me, and I’m sure a lot of other musicians who looked to JZ for inspiration and new horizons.  No more new music from the greatest synthesist who ever lived.

Hi all. Thanks for checking in on the new website/blog. Most of what was on the old site is here, except I don’t have to write html, and can manage it myself…mostly.

I’ll do my best to update the site as often as possible. I’ll let you know when T2 is playing as well as some solo performances. Looking for new music? That’ll be here too. Hang in there as I figure out what all the buttons are for.
