I spent awhile about 10 years ago talking to Andy between sets at The Baked Potato in Hollyweird, and corresponding with him for some time after. A very nice guy, and a great talent. One little known fact about Andy is that he had a very short stint with Soft Machine in early 1968, but didn't record with them as far as anyone knows. He did two really good fusion records in the early 90's, "Charming Snakes" and especially "World Gone Strange" below. Another little known fact is that his band was the original house band for "The Dennis Miller Show" around this same time, and the show's closing theme came from those recordings. However, he only played the gig for a month before splitting. That band also featured Chad Wackerman (seen here). Also in this video are Bill Evans on sax and vocals, and Darryl Jones on bass. The video identifies this tune as Pennhill March", it was actually released as "World Gone Strange"...odd...I know.
