Mr. GONE is a 4 piece ensemble exploring the groove based music of early electric jazz (fusion), focusing on the groundbreaking music of Weather Report and Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters & Mwandishi bands, as well as original compositions. Referencing the origins of the jam band movement, they connect the past with the future, opening a window on the historical significance and influence of this music. Mr Gone is the brainchild of Peter Furlan (saxes, Dizzy Gillespie, 10,000 Maniacs, Frank Foster) Neil Alexander (keyboards, Corey Glover, Alphonse Mouzon, The Mahavishnu Project, NAIL), with Bryan Kopchak (drums) and Charlie Dougherty (bass).
