Star Sam Reid has made a name for himself in New Mexico where he is
completing graduate studies after 2 years as lead alto in the prestigious
University of North Texas One O'Clock Lab Band. Both have appeared in the
five-sax line-up in SuperSax New Mexico, commanding the stage with the kind
of musical inspiration that induces bursts of audience applause. This unique
concert - which also brings New York City transplant Jim Ahrend on
keyboards, Jon Gagan on bass and Cal Haines at the drums - is the first
exclusive pairing of two extraordinary woodwind talents and we can't wait to
hear what happens! Since there is no doubt it will be a phenomenal event,
A-Alive will be doing a live filming and recording for television.
