   From Greg Bendian of Mahavishnu Project

 Hi Folks,

 Just wanted to let you all know that MO keyboardist Jan Hammer has asked The 
 Mahavishnu Project to be his band for MoogFest 2006 on June 22nd at BB King's 
 in NYC.  Jan will receive a "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Moog company 
 and will perform songs from his amazing body of work.  Keith Emerson will 
 also receive an award and perform.  

 This will be Jan's first American performance since the 1991 tour with Tony 
 Williams.  I hope you can come down and show Jan just how much he means to us 
 all.  I'm sure you'll agree that he truly deserves this special evening and 
 more.

 All the best,
 Gregg Bendian

	I was thinking about going to Moog Fest but now I do not have to think about it anymore.

	^ sounds great, sadly a bit too far for me! and the first Moogfest since Bob Moog's death.

	More info about the Moog Fest from Greg Bendian: Folks, I just want to say "thank you" to everyone that has been sending their good wishes and congratulations (on & off list) regarding Mahavishnu Project landing the gig with the great Jan Hammer. All I can add is that we are working really hard to make this the best it can be, and our goals are: 1. To show the wide range of Jan's amazing music 2. Play some fan faves 3. Celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the "Oh Yeah?" disc. If we can do this, I think the event will be a success. Jan is going to be playing the new Moog Voyager in addition to his usual Korg Triton. Just added to the bill is Jordan Rudess of Dream Theatre - with more names to come. If all goes well, this will be a DVD release sometime next year. We hope to see you at BB's in June. Sincerely, Gregg B. www.mahavishnuproject.com www.greggbendian.com
