Very cool that Jason Crosby is finally in a band and gets to put his talent on display. And this should also be a great vehicle for the immense songwriting talent of Mr. Herring.
The last band that totally blew me away was the Jimmy Herring Band. Looking forward to catching one of these shows. Sipe is one of the best players out there.
My take on Crosby, and plenty of other musicians, is that the guy needs to work year round and the bands that he gets involved with only do small tours or sometimes only 1-2 shows. It's very hard for a working musician to make it in the jamband scene. Most of the bands that work year round have the keyboard slot filled. He'd be better off taking a job as touring musician in a main stream band. Work 4 months, pay the bills than coast playing small tours the rest of the year. Easier said then done...
Him not being in a band full time is certainly not for lack of talent.
IMO the more fusion orientated this is the better it will be, and from the look of the lineup I would expect it to be leaning that way; is there a singer in that group?

Saw that band at a Pinnacle N.C. fest in 2012...loved it.
Hoping this new band does a ''reachable" gig. The World Cafe Live is bailing at The Queen in Wilmington at the end of May and there is some scuttlebutt that it may become a House of Blues. One can hope.
NIce. This should be cool. I'll definitely have to catch them when they come around. I'd like to see that tour w/ John McLaughlin as well. That should make for a good show.

The one-off, be in several
The one-off, be in several bands model seems to be the new paradigm, locally here for sure.
Of course dinos like me still seek the band gang, with rehearsals and arraignments like the old trio.
Maybe that is why it is taking so long, did find a great bass player "only" forty miles away.
Hope springs eternal.

No need for a singer in a fusion group.
Either way I'll certainly look to check this out.
