       I'll be there doing the Utopia theme (my old alma mater) and the classic song I co-wrote for Bette Midler, "You gotta have Friends". Ian Lloyd and Stories had at least 3 top twenty hits including the #1 "Brother Louie" and they'll be playing them all.

       And coming all the way from Philidelphia for their only NYC gig this year, the Nazz featuring Stewkey - the original lead singer. The Nazz was Todd Rundgren first band and had hits with "Hello, It's Me" and "Open My Eyes". Stewkey was the lead singer on those songs and the Nazz's three albums for Atlantic. Todd still sings both hits, but Stewkey sang them first.

      So if you love classic rock and want to get the biggest music bargain of the summer, then join us! We're gonna party hardy, so don't be tardy!!

Michael Amante

Michael Amante, one of the most talked about upcoming American tenors on either side of the pop/classical divide, creates buzz among everyone who hears his voice.  Backed by his extensive fan base and rave reviews, momentum continues to build behind this inspired artist. 

Amante’s debut album, self-titled, Michael Amante, topped Billboard Magazine’s 2002 charts at #1 for Top Midline Classical Artist, and #5 for Top Midline Classical Album.  The Album was widely recognized, and Amante has been hailed as “The Fourth Tenor,” by entertainer, Regis Philbin and “The next Mario Lanza” by artist Tony Bennett.  The New York Times declared that this “swashbuckling Italian tenor exhibits both the voice and charisma of a cross over star.”  The Philadelphia Exclusive confirms that “Amante rewrites the book on anyone’s idea of what a tenor can be.”  The New York Post dubbed Amante as “the golden-voiced tenor.” 

Amante followed his chart topping album, in 2003  with “Tell Her I Love Her,” a blend of song styling that reflects the fun, romantic music Amante excels at performing.  After releasing “Tell Her I Love Her,” Amante began production on his most personal album entitled, “Humbled,” which reflects Amante’s dedication to Judeo/Christian ethics and traditional family values. 

Amante’s latest album is “Just for Christmas”, it was released in December 2004.  The album includes some of Amante’s dearest holiday tunes, including The Birthday of the King/Oh Holy Night, Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee, Joy to the World, and Oh Come Emmanuel.  The album is available only at performances and through mail and web orders.

 Amante is also currently recording a new album targeted for release in Summer 2006.  It will breathe romance and is sure to be another chart topper. 

 Amante is one of the most versatile and gifted performers anywhere, as he is able to sing iin a variety of languages including Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Latin.  He also regularly records and performs a mind blowing array of styles from High Classical to Pop/Rock, to Gospel and Broadway.

 Not only has Amante performed to sold out audiences across the country, including The Stardust Casino and Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, The Sands Casino in Atlantic City,   Foxwoods Casino and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, New York City’s Lincoln Center and Town Hall, and Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, he has also given performances to countless dignitaries including former US Presidents Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, Pope John Paul II, Luciano Pavarotti, Sophia Loren, Sidney Poitier, Denzel Washington, and Julia Roberts, to name a few.  In addition, he has performed for a myriad of nationally televised sporting events and at well known arenas including Camden Yards, Shea Stadium, Madison Square Garden, Foxborough Field, The US Open, The Belmont Park Raceway, and Giants Stadium.

 Amante has appeared on “Live with Regis Philbin,” ABC’s “The View,” “The Best Damn Sports Show, Period” with Tom Arnold,  “Fox 5 Morning Show,” “The Tony Danza Show,” and “Emeril Live.” His PBS special, entitled “Michael Amante” received a regional Emmy Award nomination and has been used by Public Broadcasting to raise tens of thousands of dollars during their annual pledge drives.

Moogy Klingman performs in the new Bon Jovi video,"Welcome to Wherever You Are"
for sooned to be released single.

        Yes, folks, you heard it here first. Friday, Aug. 12th, 2005 - I played two different characters who play the keys in the new Bon Jovi video. Titled "Welcome To Wherever You Are", it's a big, hit bound track that we filmed on the lower east side of Manhattan. Down on Pitt Street and Ave D with a film crew of at least 100 people, it sure seemed like a big deal.
        I got to play keyboards made up as a Napolean type and as a person in a plastic anti-germ outfit, complete with goggles and earphone type head gear. Included here are two pix of me from the shoot. Watch for it soon!

Remembering Joel "Bishop" O'Brien 1943 - 2004

Moogy Music remembers John Siomos (1948 - 2004)
who was a good friend and one of America's greatest rock drummers.


The same years that Todd was with the Nazz, I was with a group called the Glitterhouse. Now available at my website is the CD "The Glitterhouse - the almost complete recordings, 1966 to 1975"  - This almost forgotten group came mostly from my hometown, Great Neck. The drummer from Great Neck was good friend Joel O'Brien. He later went on to play with James Taylor in the Flying Machine and on Jame's first solo album for Apple records. Joel also played with Carol King on many of her early albums including "Tapestry", the biggest selling album of the early seventies.
     The leader of the Glitterhouse was Mike Gayle, also from Great Neck. He wrote, sang and played lead guitar on most songs. His greatness as a songwriter and musical force cannot be emphasized enuff.  Like Lennon/McCartney, James Taylor and John Sebastion, his good time songs defined the era we lived in then. Mike was like a big brother to me and taught me about songwriting than anyone else in my life.
     In 1967, the Glitterhouse were discovered by America's hottest record producer, Bob Crewe, the man behind Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. When Bob signed us he had 5 hits in America's top ten by five different artists!!! Though we were and oil and water mix - the recordings that we made together were classics and must be heard as they were timeless in their beauty.    Also on the CD are several songs that the Glitterhouse performed from the soundtrack of the movie, "Barbarella". Also early singles, demos and even some reunion trax. Check out the Glitterhouse at www.moogymusic.com  with complete songs and samples and a full history of the band with reprinted liner notes from the CD.

Some emails reviews on the last gigs of Moogy's band

*******************

        Moogy, wow, I really meant it, you guys were stupendous the other nite!  Way better than I ever thought it was gonna be though of course I knew it would still be great.  I'd give you guys an A plus and you know me already, pretty candid when it comes to music!  

 What I noticed mostly though at first, my first impression was that you guys could have played this gig with your eyes closed and your hands tied behind your backs!  Just seemless and flawless-effortless! very cool.

I was soooo glad you just kicked the crap atta the piano rather than layin back!  That was so cool and I looked over at Ito and saw he was getting a kick out of it too!  You sounded just great, really!  I was also thinking, where else can you see a rock show where the keyboardist is playing on a grand piano!  Wow, how rare is that nowadays! As always though you inspire me with your playing!

The singing was awesome and in this band context I really saw how your voice is really best in that kind of "rocked-out" setting. Talk about tight! yikes!  The drumming, Denny is so strong and don't know if it's just your band but he had this folk-rock shuffle thing going and his arm movements reminded me a bit of Max Weinberg with that swing-style Louis Bellison thing happening! 

I also really enjoyed your MC bits.  Funny and a real showman!  Oh yeah, and at the end, that ballad you played and sang, was so touching and poignant, and I could feel this really nice vibe in the audience.  We could tell you sang your heart out!

So das da scoop!
Hope I get to see you guys play again sometime!

Later,  David

*******************************

 

Hey Moogy! -  I had a blast at your show.  Thanks for all the fun.  I especially enjoyed your interpretation of "maggie's farm", and appreciated your song writing talent, in your abreviated original song list.   
You managed to slip in the political message with plenty of edge in "Outlaw",  Good show!
If I did not already know you and I had just dropped in for that show, I would be looking for the next performance, so that I could hip a friend.  I want to see it again.

When the CD is ready, I'll buy it.
Encore!!

Steve

HI  Folks,

         This is going to be a great show. Moogy Klingman is going to be reunited with Tommy Cosgrove and Stu Woods for the first time in over 30 years. Moogy, Tommy and Stu played together in the legendary Vagrants with Leslie West and beyond. Then they joined Todd Rundgren in LA for his band in the early 70s. Moogy, Tommy and Stu then went on to work on the "Music from Free Creek" supersession album, recording with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. Moogy and Stu went on to record a supersession album with Al Kooper and Shuggie Otis. Then Moogy and Stu recorded with Bob Dylan on various albums.
          Moogy went on to join "Utopia" with Todd Rundgren while Stu and Tommy Cosgrove formed "Brethren" and recorded two classic albums on sceptor records while Moogy recorded solo albums for Capitol & EMI records.
        Moogy, Tommy and Stu will be performing classic songs from these records as well as new material and funky blues standards.

Come see the movie, "The Rodnees - We Mod Like Dat", at CBGB's basement theater, Weds, July 27th at 8 pm. admission - only $5.
CBGB's is located at 313 Bowery at Bleeker st. in the east village.

           ************************************rappers turned rockers, the Rodnees.
Written and directed by Lindley Farley, both Moogy and Lindley will be there to meet and greet folks after the movie.
 

hat's right - more new stuff is coming. New and old CD's and DVD's coming online - plus stories and songs from and about people I've worked with recently and in the near and distant past.
      Pix, sound and anecdotes about folks like the late Allan Woody and Warren Haynes,
two guys from the Allman Brothers whom I had a band with right before they formed Gov't Mule.
      People like Robert Downey Jr, who recorded a whole album of demos with me over the recent and troubled
years before his new record deal. When I brought RDj to Sting, that started the ball rolling that resulted in Robert's record deal and friendship with both Sting and Elton John.And people like Anthony Michael Hall and Al Pacino.  Michael, has recorded a great deal with me over the years and Al Pacino who was in every sense, executive producer for the Beverly D'Angelo sessions I did last year. Some funny stories there.........So check back soon for "new stuff".

Moogy's great new band features Even Steven Levee on bass and Guy Peterson on guitar, Tommy Zvoncheck ex-Blue Oyster Cult on organs and synth, and Keith Crane on drums.
      Moogy will be playing piano and singing songs from his CD's on Moogymusic, some of the hits he's written for other artists (including the Klingman/Linhart "you gotta have Friends" and "Dust in the Wind") and some of the old Utopia hits from his Rundgren days, like "Utopia theme" and "Freak Parade". The band will also play classic rock and blues from the last four decades.

       Joel "Bishop" O'Brien, who is very sick with liver cancer,  is one of the more amazing musicians I've worked with and been friends with. He's from my home town, Great Neck, but many years older than me, I only met Joel after we'd both moved to NYC from Long Island. He was with NYC's hottest band at the time, "The King Bees". Joel became a friend, musical mentor and teacher.
       When Joel and Kooch (Danny Kortchmar) left the King Bees and formed a new group called "The Flying Machine" with a 17 year old James Taylor, I became an unofficial mascot for the band. I got to go to rehearsals, hung out almost nightly at their gig at the Night Owl in Greenwich Village and attended many post gig get togethers at Joel's house on Charles street, where Bish aka the Bishop (Joel's nickname) held court on all things musical.
         In addition to being a great drummer, Joel is also an amazing jazz pianist, jazz flute and alto saxaphone player and a great singer and acoustic guitarist of old country and C & W songs. No kidding. Joel is a walking encyclopia of music.
       When the Flying Machine broke up, Joel joined my band, "The Glitterhouse" and recorded the historic album "Colorblind" with me and the band, as produced by legend Bob Crewe. Joel then joined James Taylor in England, where he played drums on Jame's first album (For the Beatle's Apple records). And Joel got to record with Paul McCartney and George Harrison on various Apple projects including Jackie Lomax's first apple album.
       Joel then played drums on the James Cotten Blues album that I produced with Todd Rundgren.
       Moving to LA, Joel began working with Carole King on her solo albums, including the "Tapestry" where Joel played drums on most of the album and on her hit single, "It's Too Late". Forming "Jo Mama" with Danny Kooch and Ralph Schuckett, Joel recorded two albums for Atlantic with them and together they toured with, backed up live and continued to record with James Taylor and Carole King.
      Joel's influences on the music scene in general and James Taylor and Carole King specifically was profound. Always teaching and preaching about various types of music (mostly jazz and various American Roots music) Joel's influence was as a teacher as well as a musician.
      As close friends thru the 60's and the 70's, Joel was an always loyal friend and mentor. We've stayed in touch over the years as Joel went on to play and record with many artists over the years. Now, Joel is a full time jazz pianist/vocalist.
     As you can read in the email below, Joel is very sick. Any help you can give him, financial or moral ( an email/letter of support, even)  would be greatly appreciated.

posted on 8/6/04 at 04:25 AM
Here it is folks, my rambling revue of "Moogys' Nightout with The Acid Test Band!" I just couldn't get my thoughts straight after that show, but I'll try now. The ATB KICKS ASS! Wow what a talented trio, and a very nice bunch of guys to chat with. TZ Keys and I had a great talk. The band is flawless, tight, and will surprise you with everything from Deep Purples' "Hush" to Arthur Browns' "Fire" I couldn't wait to hear what they'd play next. Julie and I joined up with Ralph(Utopia Massage)and his friends to enjoy the evening and we chatted with Moogy after he arrived from Manhattan by bus to where else? How about a town whos initials are....are you ready for this, it just occured to me...TR! (How about that, Weav!)By now it was time to enjoy ATC Meets MOOGY! I'll run the set list by you now: The Load, Gloria, Utopia Theme, Dust In The Wind, Ballad of John And Yoko, Get Back, Ya Got To Have Friends, Hey Joe/All Along The Watchtower, Ain't That Kindness. The performance was incredible, the audience was blown away by Utopia Theme, and the night ended with everyone there, whether in the crowd or on the stage, saying what a great night it was! As far as I'm concerned I'll say I was in the right place at the right time! TZ, My hats off to you man, thanks for a special night and hope to see you soon! JR(From TR)

Moogy

 Stewkey was in top shape and drove the crowd wild! Lots of standing ovations for this man's return to the stage. Stewkey stayed onstage and sang backup on the next two numbers.
 17. "Bang the Drum all Day" I sang this one with Stewkey doing great backups!
 18. "You gotta have Friends" my most famous song (co-written with Buzzy Linhart), with many friends jumping out of the audience and singing along.

     Everyone had a great nite. Bruce Gatewood on guitar - was quite amazing, Julie Eigenberg on harmony and lead vocals was fine. Special kudos to Kevin Ellman and Even Steven, who rocked the Utopia songs and Nazz songs like you never heard.
     Stewkey and Godfrey gave their all and the audience loved it.

 Utopian Salutations,

 Moogy Klingman

          Freak Parade (with Utopia vets, Moogy Klingman and Kevin Ellman),
     Julie  Eigenberg - vocals, Even Steven - bass, Bruce Gatewood - guitar
                            Stewkey (lead singer of the Nazz) &
     Godfrey Townsend (from Todd's Abbey Road tour & the John Entwhistle band)
         at the Triad Theater, 158 w.72nd st, NYC. Weds. October 2nd, 8 pm
         Admission ten bucks. For reservations call 212 724 0242
          or email me at MOOGYKING@aol.com - seats still available!

         This is really a Todd Rundgren tribute nite! With alumni from his
two bands, Utopia and the Nazz. Freak Parade's Moogy Klingman (that's me!) &
Kevin Ellman were in the original Utopia. Godfrey Townsend is a great lead
guitarist and singer who just finished the second of two summer tours with
Todd & the Abbey Road tour.
        Stewkey was lead singer for the Nazz, who released three albums on
Atlantic in the late 60's. Todd Rundgren was leader and guitar player for
both the Nazz and Utopia (who were nominated to the R & R Hall of Fame in
2000). Stewkey has recently been rehearsing his music with various ensembles
and has recently released an EP. Stewkey hasn't performed publicly in over a
decade, so this is going to be a historic moment in Rundgrensque history.
        Stewkey sang lead on the Nazz's two top 100 hit singles - "Open My
Eyes" & "Hello, It's Me" (pre-TR version)
        Moogy wrote "Dust in the Wind" on Todd's platinum
"Something/Anything", and co-wrote Bette Midler theme song, "You gotta have
Friends". Moogy also co-wrote Utopia's Freak Parade & the Ikon. Moogy's song, "LadyFace" was just released this year by Todd Rundgren for the first time, on his latest Japanese import, though it was recorded 24 years ago!
         Julie Eigenberg, who sings in Freak Parade, will also be singing
some "with a twist" versions of Todd songs.
        Godfrey Townsend will performing Rundgren songs, Beatle & Cream songs
 and a special tribute to his late band leader, John Entwhistle of the Who!
Godfrey, who has toured with Todd for the past two summers, as part of the
"Abbey Road" Tour, also had been lead singer and lead guitarist for the John
Entwhistle Band for many years! Later in October, Godfrey will also play with
the Jack Bruce band at B.B. King's in NYC.
       Godfrey will play and sing some Rundgren songs, like "It Wouldn't Have
Made Any Difference" and  "A Dream Goes On Forever".
       And he'll do a special tribute to the late John Entwhistle with songs
like "My Generation" (which Todd sang on the last Abbey Road tour) and
"Behind Blue Eyes" Godfrey will sing the Beatles, "Hide Your Love Away" which
Rundgren also sang on the Abbey Road tour.

       Stewkey sounded great at rehearsal

      Having not seen Stewkey since I used to jam with Todd at the Nazz's
house in Great Neck, in 1969, it's been a brief 33 years since our last get
together. But Stewkey looked great and sounded great as we went over all the
old Nazz songs he's going to be doing at his first show in many, many years.
His first ever, doing the old Nazz songs since the band broke up.
      Still having those golden tones and still being able to hit all the
high notes (in the original keys!) of the old songs, Stewkey's voice is
undamaged and clear. He's a very sweet guy and is looking forward to Weds
nite, when he makes his historic return to the stage.
     Freak Parade  is doing an able job backing him up. Bruce Gatewood never
sounded better than doing all the old Todd guitar leads. Kevin Ellman, of
course, is doing great on the drums. With Julie Eigenberg and myself on
backups and me on the keys, we're giving Stewkey a full sound with some
Utopian influence.

Utopian Salutations,

        Moogy

     Godfrey Townsend has graciously consented to fill in for Kasim Sulton at the historic Oct. 2nd Todd Rundgren tribute show. Godfrey, who has toured with Todd for the past two summers, as part of the "Abbey Road" Tour, also had been lead singer and lead guitarist for the John Entwhistle Band for many years! Later in October, Godfrey will also play with the Jack Bruce band at B.B. King's in NYC.
       Godfrey will play and sing some Rundgren songs, like "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" and  "A Dream Goes On Forever".
       And he'll do a special tribute to the late John Entwhistle with songs like "My Generation" (which Todd sang on the last Abbey Road tour) and "Behind Blue Eyes" Godfrey will sing the Beatles, "Hide Your Love Away" which Rundgren also sang on the Abbey Road tour.
       Godfrey will also do  some Clapton/Cream stuff like "Sunshine of your Love" and "Bell Bottom Blues". Jack Bruce was also on the Abbey Road tour this summer and Godfrey certainly honed his Clapton chops by playing all the old Cream songs with Bruce. Godfrey's Clapton tribute show in August at B.B. Kings was sold out!

        Buzzy Linhart is back! After playing the Bottom Line last month in a star studded tribute to Buzzy himself, the Buzzman is at the Cutting Room Weds. nite at  11 pm for one show only! Backing Buzzy will be his longtime co-hort Moogy Klingman at the grand piano. Also Bruce Gatewood on the guitar, Even Steven on the bass, and Andy Began on the drums.
      Buzzy Linhart lives in Berklee, California, but established himself as an east coast legend through his many albums and tours in the 1970's - Together with Moogy Klingman, they wrote Bette Midler's theme songs "Friends".

      Buzzy Linhart played in bands backing up Tim Hardin and Fred Neil. Buzzy also played vibes on many albums for people like John Sebastian and Jimi Hendrix.
     Buzz started playing guitar and singing and writing songs in the late sixties, and made a big impression with his first band, the Seventh Songs. Soon Buzzy was singing and playing as a solo act and causing quite a sensation. He got signed to Mercury and put out an album in 1969 for that label. Buzzy had a series of great bands and gave a great show.
        He was signed to Karma Sutra and put out a series of albums for them in the early seventies. In the mid seventies Buzzy had an album out on Atlantic as well, with many of his records being re-released through out the late 70's and early 80's in "greatest hits" formats.
       Buzzy was always known as an amazing performer. He would run around the stage switching from guitar to vibes, playing long extended jams, and was known as a powerhouse performer, sweating off pounds every show and doing sets as long as two hours. He built a huge following on the East Coast (even selling out Carnegie Hall!) and could easily be said to have been the "Bruce Springsteen of the early seventies"!
        Buzzy's unique combination of jazz, folk and rock made him an innovator and influence on many who came after him. His singing could go from rock to blues to jazz scat in any 24 bars of a song! His songs were covered by people like Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, and the Roche Sisters.
       Though Buzzy sightings became rarer thru the eighties and nineties, he still is a great singer and performer. CD releases have recently come out featuring Buzzy. "The Buzzy/Moogy sessions" is music recorded from 83 to 94 with Buzzy Linhart and his buddy Moogy released on the Internet label Moogymusic.com. Also released on CD in 2001 was "Buzzy Linhart Loves You" a retrospective of Buzzy's 70's recordings on Razor and Tie.

       As house band we got to back up and play with all the other great acts on the bill. We got to work some legends. David Amram, John Sebastion, John Hammond, Eric Anderson, Phoebe Snow, Will Lee, Jimmy Vivino and of course, Buzzy Linhart!
        And the packed house loved the band as did the performers. From Amram and Sebastion to Snow, Hammond and Lee, they enjoyed being backed up by and playing & singing with the members of the Moogy Klingman Band!
      So I wanna to thank the members of my band who graciously rose to this occasion - Bruce Gatewood, Kevin Ellman, Even Steven, Julie Eigenberg, Ellen Bernfeld, & Joanna Fee. Props unto You!

A report from Moogy....

the Moogy Klingman band, Will Lee, John Sebastion  &- Phoebe Snow
and tributes from WBAI's Bob Fass & producer Hendrix producer Eddie Kramer, the performers gave their all in their individual sets and when they teamed up for group jams.
       One of high points was when Eric Andersen sang the Elvis hit, "That's Alright, Mama" with Buzzy on vibes, John Sebastion on harmonica, David Amram on flutes, Jimmy Vivino on guitart, Will Lee on bass, Kevin Ellman on drums, and Moogy at the grand piano. Once the Buzzman hit the stage he put on a two hour show with a 15 piece band!! that had the crowd mesmerized.  I'll go into more details in another post, but let me say that warm glow of that success will also shine on all those who come to see Buzzy and the Moogy Klingman band this friday at the Cutting Room, a really nice room to see music in.

                      ***********************************************
       Buzzy Linhart is a rock legend and the guy I wrote "You gotta have Friends" with. Buzz started out in the early sixties as Greenwich Village's leading vibes player. He played in bands backing up Tim Hardin and Fred Neil. Buzzy also played vibes on many albums for people like John Sebastion and Jimi Hendrix.
    Buzz started playing guitar and singing and writing songs in the late sixties, and made a big impression with his first band, the Seventh Songs. Soon Buzzy was singing and playing as a solo act and causing quite a sensation. He got signed to Mercury and put out an album in 1969 for that label. Buzzy had a series of great bands and gave a great show.
       He was signed to Karma Sutra and put out a series of albums for them in the early seventies. In the  mid seventies Buzzy had an album out on Atlantic as well, with many of his records being re-released through out the late 70's and early 80's in "greatest hits" formats.
      Buzzy was always known as an amazing performer. He would run around the stage switching from guitar to vibes, playing long extended jams, and was known as a powerhouse performer, sweating off pounds every show and doing sets as long as two hours. He built a huge following on the East Coast (even selling out Carnegie Hall!) and could easily be said to have been the "Bruce Springsteen of the early seventies"!
       Buzzy's unique combination of jazz, folk and rock made him an innovator and influence on many who came after him. His singing could go from rock to blues to jazz scat in any 24 bars of a song! His songs were covered by people like Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Carly Simon, and the Roche Sisters.
      Though Buzzy sightings became rarer thru the eighties and nineties, he still is a great singer and performer. CD releases have recently come out featuring Buzzy. "The Buzzy/Moogy sessions" is music recorded from 83 to 94 with Buzzy Linhart and his buddy Moogy released on the internet label Moogymusic.com. Also released on CD in 2001 was "Buzzy Linhart Loves You" a retrospective of Buzzy's 70's recordings on Razor and Tie.

     David Amram is a legendary music personality who has stradled the worlds of music from jazz to classical. He was a pivital collaborator with such great jazz personalities as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Charles Mingus. His musical   collaborations with Jack Kerouac and the beats are well known and Amram has just written and had published a book, "Offbeat" about those times.
     A great classical composer and movie soundtrack writer ("The Manchurian Candidate" and "Splendor in the Grass" among others) David is also a great jazz multi-instrumentalist and singer. His improvisational singing and scatting are a miracle to behold.

       Richard Belzer is a great comedian and actor. Star of television's long running series, "Law and Order", he made his claim early on, as one of the most outlandish
and radical comics. His many films, TV and nightclub appearances, as well as HBO specials, have made him one of America's most beloved funny men.

      John Hammond Jr. is one of America's great white blues singers. Having started recording albums in the mid-sixties, he worked with great musicians in his band and on his records. Before anyone knew who people like Jimi Hendrix and Robbie Robertson were, they were playing with Hammond. He has recorded and released over 30 albums and his newest release is a collaboration with Tom Waits on Virgin.

        Moogy Klingman co-wrote "You got to have Friends" with Buzzy Linhart back in the old daze. Moogy has had solo albums released on Capitol and EMI records and recently started an internet CD label featuring his music new and old, (as well as
collaboration with Buzzy Linhart). Moogy was a founding member of Todd Rundgren's Utopia and recorded over a dozen albums with Todd and Utopia in the seventies. Moogy has produced albums for such artists as Bette Midler and James Cotten and even produced a song with Bob Dylan. Moogy's songs have been recorded by Ms. Midler, Carly Simon, Todd Rundgren and Utopia, Johny Winter and Barry Manilow among others.
      Moogy has been a recent fixture on the NY music club scene playing gigs with the Moogy Klingman band and his Utopia tribute group "Freak Parade", who's new CD can be found at Moogymusic.com.
       Moogy is proud to be producing the Buzzy Linhart celebration/benefit.

        Will Lee is perhaps, the most well known bass player in America and also considered by many to be one of best on his instrument. He has played and recorded with everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE. He is most well known for being the bassist for the David Letterman show for about the last 20 years.
        Will is also a great singer and has had several solo albums released. He will be singing some songs as well as backing up other artists at the Linhart event.

        John Sebastion is one of America's greatest pop songwriters. With his band, "The Loving Spoonful", he wrote and sang at least a dozen top ten hits, frequently knocking the Beatles out of the top spots on the charts. Songs like "Do You Believe In Magic", "Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind", "Summer in the City" "Daydream", and solo hits like "Welcome Back", have made Sebastion's music as well loved as anyone's in the history of popular music.
       A great harmonica player, Sebastion was jamming on his harp in Greenwich Village in the 60's where he met Linhart who was jamming on the vibes. Only later did these two guys (who backed up everybody down there) start singing and writing songs. But when they did, ........ the rest is history.

     Phoebe Snow was just a high school student, when she met Buzzy Linhart and started coming to his recording sessions. Phoebe's blue, jazz scat style does owe something to her days listening to Buzzy sing in the recording studio. Of course, it was during the mid seventies that Phoebe broke out with "Poetry Man", her number one hit which was followed by many others.
      Her beautiful recordings are matched by her incredible live vocal stylings. An amazing singer, who's pyrotechnical approach to singing has made her a much in demand studio singer who has worked with everyone from Paul Simon to Steely Dan.
       With any luck, Phoebe and Buzzy will sing a duet at the Buzzy Celebration that alone, will be worth the price of admission.

       Bob Fass is radio host and producer of "Radio Unnamable", his long running show on  WBAI. Bob has been on the air for over forty years and is considered the father of free form radio. Bob was the first to discover and put on the radio live, many acts, including Bob Dylan, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie and of course, Buzzy Linhart.
Moogy Klingman has had the privilege to appear often over the years as a guest on Bob Fass's "Radio Unnamable".

       Eddie Kramer started out in England as an engineer for people like the Beatles, Lead Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, but soon went on to become a producer/engineer for many Jimi Hendrix albums as well as for Kiss, Carly Simon and, oh yes, Buzzy Linhart. Eddie is now the exclusive producer/engineer for any and all Jimi Hendrix releases that have come out over the last ten years.

      It was almost three years ago that I started playing out regularly again at small, intimate clubs around Manhattan. I have doing my songs for friends old and new since then. Last month at the Triad (I have been playing there the first Friday of every month for a while now) we had another great crowd.
       It was great to have Bob Fass from WBAI's Radio Unnamable and John McDunna from WBAI's Radio Free Eiren show up Feb. 4th. These two guys are great on-air radio hosts and I was honored to be invited to perform on both their shows last month.
     Some folks who came to see us Jan 4th, were back in February, including Grammy award winning cubana guitarist/vocalist, Juan Carlos Formell and Tommy Mandel (Keyboard man for Bryan Adams and Dire Straits). Tommy even sat in with us for a great gospel rocking climax!
     And some new recording artists like Emiko - who's new album is starting to get lots of airplay-  have been showing up lately as well. And don't miss new backup vocalist Johanna Fee is doing some beautiful duet work with me this Friday.

    The Triad Lounge is a beatiful room with a nice stage, good PA and nice folks at the bar and tables  Why not come and add your special presence to these
