I'm one lucky guy! How many piano players get to sit in and perform on the same stage *with* two members from Lenny White's fusion band (and a member of Jack DeJohnette's New Quintet)? Check out the video from this George Colligan show on the AudioGlobe web site starting at around the 53:10 mark. NOTE: You'll need to sign up for a *free* account on their site in order to view the show -- just enter the username and password of your choosing.
The song is called "Anthem" and starts with an avant-garde intro before moving into the heavy rock-oriented tune. It features George Colligan on keyboards, Tom Guarna on guitar, Damian Erskine on bass, Reinhardt Melz on drums, and your's truly, Mike Prigodich, on piano for this one song.
BTW, this same URL also contains video of five tunes that my band performed that same night during our double bill at Jimmy Mak's in Portland, Oregon. Watch the full George Colligan & Tom Guarna set as well as the set from my band MPEG to give you a taste of what you missed if you couldn't attend our April 6 show. Or relive the show if you were in the audience that night.

NOTE: Most of the video from this show is also available on YouTube via this playlist (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL56C874129EB2FF3E&feature=plcp), but there are a few songs that are exclusively only available on the AudioGlobe website and not on YouTube. The song Anthem where I sit in is one of those songs that is *not* on YouTube, but only on the AudioGlobe site.
