Tool's drummer Danny Carey has a new instrumental fusion band called Volto! The new album is to be released in the US next Tuesday. They are scheduled to play Yestival in Camden NJ. I came across a cool interview with Danny concerning the new album.

here is an excerpt I found interesting:
Q: When it comes to your personal influences, are there any you’re able to harness for Volto! that you haven’t been able to use with Tool?
A: Yeah, I grew up playing lots of jazz music in school. I played in the big band, and played my way through college playing a lot of jazz music; so a lot of that stuff, it’s kind of hard to make it apply. Chops-wise, it’s always kind of there, I guess, for Tool. Tony Williams, Billy Cobham and Lenny White; some of those guys were big influences on me. Now I’m able to utilize the hard work I’ve put into that area a little more than I was before with Tool. Tool came from my prog-rock influences like Bill Bruford and Phil Collins.
