As Alan's exposure to improvisational jazz developed, his opportunities as a jobbing musician grew apace. He joined the dance and floor show circuit and performed with combos and 15-piece bands in several major US cities.

In 2004, Alan founded an indie record label Backtalk Unlimited with studios located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. In collaboration with other staff members, he has co-produced 17 jazz-related CD albums that are marketed worldwide.

Also playing with Alan are Thorpe Ziegler and Pauson Khand. Thorpe is a German native who emigrated to the USA, where he now works as an audio engineer while pursuing his musical interests as a jobbing musician. Thorpe's personal musical artistry is evident in extensive baritone saxophone solos, which are featured in several arrangements and recordings that he also co-produced.

Pauson is a native of Cleveland, OH. He studied musical composition at the Cleveland Institute of Music before deciding to pursue a career in audio engineering. Pauson's piano artistry is featured on several of Alan's albums.
