Alexis is doing fine. He seldom does a gig though..His nickname in MI is 'Bass Machine'..
So precise that sometime it feels like sequencer, not a player.
Lots of faculties left from school once new japanese owner changed whole system of school. some of them are really famous players like stu hamm, frank gambale, dave hughes, steve bailiey, etc...
It is still great place to learn but you need to push yourself really hard 'cause most of faculties doesn't really care about students. Main reason they are still there is they can easily get a gig and Scott henderson.
Still great place to practice, get resource and gig, meet people, etc...
I'm in berklee now but practice room is slightly better in MI
If you want to focus on more 'artistic' field, take a look on LAMA - Los Angeles Music Academy.
Former berklee faculty, Ed lucie and few bass players are there to teach and focus on more of jazz, latin and world music. They have really nice drum dept. too.-bass player always need good drummer
