Sadly I missed it due to horrendous M4 traffic. Not to worry straight on to the next ones: Bournemouth and Southampton. Which were both a blast! So privileged to be able to perform great music with great friends to great people.

Big thanks to Mike, Eddie and everyone else at the Coca-Cola team.

Fantastic! I don't remember much of the show - I'm putting it down to adrenaline - but I do remember ecstatic fans, an elated management team and a content Alex.

Played at the Montreux Jazz Cafe last night with Alex Clare for the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Although I had to re-program my keyboard patches from scratch during soundcheck. The day went swimmingly and the gig was a bunch of fun.

We recently got to work with some really awesome friends that shared a similar passion towards celebrating the artists who are helping to unleash a more beautiful web. The spot you see above features the work of Keith Rivers, a Seattle-based filmmaker who became part of our team for this project, and Alex Clare, a British singer-songwriter, whose music has been on repeat in our cars and offices for the past two months.

If you want to read more about Alex and his inspiration, click over to the Microsoft News Center where we got a few more details from Alex about his creative process and music. We want to thank our friends Alex and Keith for sharing their passion, vision and work with us over the past few months.

Currently re-recording piano parts for some of Alex Clare's records. First up Caroline :-)

The AKAI MPK 61 is working surprisingly well in place of an upright piano. Thanks to Sarah at Numark-Alesis.
