Keith Howland from the band Chicago is featured on the new Magellan track, "The Better Suite". Keith shows off his versatility and pyrotechnics, so familiar to anyone who has seen him live with Chicago. Thank you, Keith! We really hope to work with you again - soon!
 
This tune is a 5 part prog excursion, clocking in at 8:32. It actually features another member of Chicago, with a beautiful "cameo" piccolo trumpet solo, performed by Lee Loughnane. Robert Berry(GTR,3,ELP,Alliance) also provides some nice bass/r.gtr work.

The Better Suite

And now for something completely different...

I did this track for my good friend Scott Casey's movie "Captured". I wrote it along with the incredible Robert Curtin and Narek Ambartsoumyan, and recorded it at a cool spot called the Gravity Room. It's a bit different from all my other stuff, but I had a blast writing and recording it. I hope you like it!
