The Outsidemen - 1996 Band "Overboard"


We used to meet before class at the mexican restaurant across from the school, and we would bring in our sketches, sometimes a whole piece, sometimes fragments, and come up with a rough form, sometimes REALLY rough. Then we would spring them on ourselves and the poor student/guinea pigs in the class, to simulate going into a recording session.
The Outsidemen was a project started by Ralph Humphrey, Jim Lacefield, and Mike Miller. Originally it was for an improvisational class at what is now known as M. I., (Musician's institute) in Hollywood, Ca.

  2. I've been searching this album for years, since I read a review about it (on Guitar Player magazine) back in those years. Despite the 20ys age the album still sounds fresh and captivating, thanks to the modern guitar lines of Mike Miller and the perfect trio interplay. Wonderful post!
