Keyboardist/Composer Tom Alexander's"Flying Against the Time Zones" is a musical trip around the globe, literally. Depart from America's west coast and circle the world stopping off to catch a glimpse of some far off melody or rhythm from Africa, Asia, Europe or the Americas - then settle in for some awe-inspiring fusion jazz jams. Tom plays in a variety of contexts and settings from solo piano ballads and haunting duos to full-on burning fusion ensemble playing and orchestral sojourns. Featuring drummer Tommy G. Lee, guitarists Audric Jankauskas and Len Perry, bassist Leo Brooks, sax player Jamie Roth and a host of guest musicians,"Flying Against the Time Zones" pays homage to musical heroes Chick Corea, Joe Zawinul, Pat Metheny, and Herbie Hancock.
