The gigs that started it all... alt.coffee was the laboratory where John Hollenbeck, Matt Moran, Reuben Radding, Ted Reichman and many others developed a new style of New York creative music.
This limited edition CD, only available here at tedreichman.com, features a rare early track by the Claudia Quintet and the only commercially available recordings of Ted & John's pre-Claudia band, Refuseniks, plus stunning improvisations by some of New York's greatest musicians.
