Needless to say, it was a great show! Stanley played his Alembic the whole time, except when he played his upright. The Spellbinder was on stage but... |

I guess we're not funky enough here in the NorthWest...I really regret missing the RTF show, Stanley sure keeps himself busy ...my hat's off to the man. I bet Hal will be happy to know the Alembic is front and center. back to practice,practice... |

By listening to the trax it seems marcus is the bottom,Victor's the rythm,& stanley's the melody man. the thing i dont like is that there's no chicago dates! |

Glad to hear that it was a good show. I think the tour is very light on U.S. engagements. |

Keavin it was exactly as you stated. They were all team players. It was well worth the drive. The cd is awesome by the way! |

Terry - you live in a dream world ;-) In the unlikely event of them coming to the UK they'll play 3 nights at the Camden Jazz Cafe then zip off to play the rest of Europe. Graeme ;-( |

That would be something - the sage is a fantastic venue. I've checked the smv tourdates and they aren't booked anywhere in the UK yet - loads of european dates though - fingers crossed. Graeme |

Sadly no dates in Birmingham either. I've already seen Stanley twice this year once and the Jazz cafe and with RTF at the Indgo 02 so a hatrick would be good. I'm trying to work out which of the european dates to go to. Amsterdam seems the most convenient so far as I have a good mate living there. Jazzyvee |

jacko yes the sage is a mere 35-40 miles away. Saw John McLaughlin with Shakti Revisited, Herbie Hancock there. A superb venue indeed. SMV may be tempted!!! |

Those of you who've seen this show; did you see any bass players in the audience? |

No one that I recognized. I did see a few people who brought their basses hoping to get them signed by SMV. Before the show started, there were some who stood at the stage admiring SMV's gear. I figured they were bass players. |

I'm going tonight in toronto. I'm extremely psyched. I've already seen stanley here with rtf and then caught marcus here. |

Quincy; my remark was tongue in cheek, hee hee! When I saw Victor fronting his own band, early on in the show he remarked something to the effect of "it's a bit intimidating playing in front of a room full of bass players". My guess is that it's like going to see the Steve Morse band, where probably just about everyone there is a guitar player. |

"he remarked something to the effect of "it's a bit intimidating playing in front of a room full of bass players". He's up for it! Actually, he seemed very humble. |
