Comments: I've spent many hours watching and studying your videos. Many guys try to do the one man band thing but none I have seen are anywhere near your level. You are amazing because you can play extremely well and tastefully AND you can make the technology really work well and not sound silly. That is rare.

Comments: In my career i have been very privileged to know and play with some of the great legends in jazz from Benny Goodman to Chick Corea. When i first heard Alan McPike's playing I was blown away. He swings and has great time and always plays with such beautiful taste. Then i heard his writing and was equally impressed with how he was able to use technology and still make real music; something that is rare. On top of all that he is a real gentleman and great guy to do business with. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants the best.
