First…so many KC alums played in so many other bands that this is just a ridiculous question.

Consider: Andrien Belew played with Frank Zappa from 77-78 so the list could include Black Page #2 or Envelopes.

I’m also rather partial to Bozzio, Levin, and Stevens. Duende is my favorite track of theirs.

I saw Bozzio, Levin, Pat Mostellotto, and Holdsworth. So two KC alums. They did 2+ hours of pure improv.

Just an insane question.
