EDGE (Leonardo & The Lilacs)

It turns out that Thomas Wolfe was wrong. You can, indeed, go home again. At least metaphorically, especially if going home means you’re a musician who’s getting back together with old friends to make music again. Almost five decades ago, there was a band called Edge, a quartet of teens in Larchmont, New York, who formed in 1973, initially covering songs by the likes of the Allman Brothers and Jeff Beck, then moved on to more challenging material by Return to Forever and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. But by 1975, guitarist Bob Windbiel, drummer Mark Macksoud, bass man Paul Adamy, and the last member to join, keyboardist Lee Feldman, called it quits, each eventually finding careers in other musical settings. Now, after releasing their first album together, “Keep Me Around”, EDGE is back, better than ever and ready to rock the house! In their own classic way, of course.
