Welcome

Much thanks to all the people who came out to hear "the Bebop Trio" on July 17. We had a incredible time playing that music for an incredible, attentive audience. We're finishing up an album to be released this winter. Check this website for details.

"Cuddle Magic", the band's eponymous debut album is available on Itunes! And we could use some reviews. Now is your chance to really lay into my singing.

On that note: Two songs from our new album are the subject of a nice review at "Said the Gramaphone" (www.saidthegramaphone.com). My voice is compared to a trombone solo, "at once mournful and vaguely funny". I have decided to be flattered.

Cuddle Magic is also hard at work on a new album. Look for that sometime this fall. The band is on a brief tour at the moment that takes them around the Northeast. I won't be there (how it pains me to say this!) but don't let that stop you from going to hear the Magic when they come to your town.

You can download a great live version of my tune "Expectations" from our recent Lizard Lounge show at www.myspace.com/cuddlemagic.

and one more thing ... sometimes I'm not so great about keeping this site updated, you also might want to check in at www.myspace.com/alecspiegelman for new music and dates!
