Andy West of the Dixie Dregs and Henry Kaiser are joining Andre Cholmondeley to talk about creativity.

Recorded live in Albuquerque, New Mexico at GORGG 2017, celebrating the greatness of Gentle Giant.

"Click" written by Mike Keneally, originally released on his solo album "Nonkertompf"

Bass: Andy West

Acoustic guitar: Anthony Garone

This is one of my favorite Gentle Giant songs and I was incredibly honored to be asked to join such tremendous musicians on stage for this performance. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d have an opportunity like this. Gary Green was a guitar hero for me growing up, and to look over to make eye contact while performing music with him is just indescribable.

The incredible Andy West and the inimitable Markus Reuter sit down and have a chat in the MWM HQ living room. They cover many deep topics from algorithmic music generation to the value of sharing art. Pretty wild.

Mike Keneally (Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Dethklok) was kind enough to grace MWM headquarters in Mesa, AZ on November 12, 2016 with a house concert. He did several songs with the incredible Andy West (Dixie Dregs, Crazy Backwards Alphabet). Here's a song from the 1995 album they released together as The Mistakes. This is a pretty rare thing to see.

They talk about the music industry and evolution of music since the 1970s, YouTube, recommending music to other people, Captain Beefheart, Henry Kaiser, Joe Satriani, and more.

We are SUPER excited to present our first house concert featuring Michael Manring. There's over an hour of concert footage in the for-purchase video and then another 18 minutes of free promo content in this video, including a performance of "What If" by Steve Morse with the Dixie Dregs' own Andy West!

In 2013, I released a crazy interpretation of J. S. Bach's Concerto for Oboe and Violin (BWV 1060R), 1st Movement featuring:

Sebastian Lanser of Panzerballett on drums

Andy West of Dixie Dregs on bass

Adam Strand on keyboards

Anthony Garone (me) on guitars

Bryce Bickham on guitar amplification and engineering

Andy West was a professional bassist based in the Phoenix, AZ area. He is most famous for co-founding the Dixie Dregs with Steve Morse. He also went on to record and perform music with Mike Keneally, Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater), Henry Kaiser, John French (Drumbo), Toshi Iseda, and many others.
