	Don Alias - Verve Records
		Percussionist par excellence Don Alias remains best known for his work at the vanguard of the fusion movement, exploring both sides of the jazz-rock equation via contributions to landmark sessions headlined by Miles Davis and Joni Mitchell.
		Alias and Perla resurrected Stone Alliance in 1980 with pianist Kenny Kirkland and tenor saxophonist Bob Mintzer, issuing the acclaimed Heads Up; during this time he also worked with Pastorious' new band, Word of Mouth, appearing on its self-titled 1982 Warner Bros. debut LP as well as several subsequent live releases.
		Alias and Perla were also collaborating on a joint memoir at the time of the percussionist's sudden death at his Manhattan home on March 28, 2006.

	Alias (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Alias" jumped the shark for me the day I was at Starbucks and got to witness Jennifer Garner storm in with her entourage, force her way to the front of the line, and scream at and berate an employee for giving her the wrong flavor coffee the day before.
		Alias jumped the shark with the 2003 post-Super Bowl episode, "Phase One," where Sydney and the CIA Fun Bunch dismantled the global terrorist network The Alliance, Sydney made out with her CIA handler and her best friend was killed and replaced with an evil clone.
		Alias is a very dynamic show that keeps evolving and doesn't stick with the usual formula of beating a storyline to death before moving on.

	Matt Roush answers worried Alias fans - AllAlias.com
		Unfortunately, Alias is going to have to be a self-starter again on Sundays, and the insane Practice situation isn't going to help the network's overall standings that night, either.
		When Alias is back in first-run, picking up the story after that wild finale, I'm confident the numbers will surge again, at least in the young-adult spectrum that the network and advertisers care about.
		ALIAS writers are smart in that I do believe they do read these forums too and take some ideas of the fans and incorporate them in the story!!!

		and as i came upon the hotel there was don sitting front and center in the restaurant- first familiar face- smiling at me and waving me in through the window...
		I knew Don very briefly years ago, and it was immediately obvious what a great guy he was.
		Don was delighted, but also a bit freaked out--aparently that very night, Joni called him for the first time in thirteen years; the first time since they'd been lovers.

	The Moronosphere: I don't get Alias
		But Alias seems to be nothing but empty spy-movie cliche with no style whatsoever.
		The plots are convoluted to the point of incomprehensiblity, and while the whole everyone's double-crossing everyone else thing is entertaining, the bottom line is that I don't care.
		Having never watched Alias -- ever -- I will say that your comments about how it's written are in the same vein of why I absolutely cannot stand Lost.

	Don Alias obituary - Times Online
		Alias — who had never tasted either — was being violently sick outside when Gillespie arrived and suggested he’d have been better off staying and sitting in with his band.
		However, when Alias was reunited on record with Davis in 1989 for Amandla, the trumpeter did not bother to come to the studio, but rehearsed the rhythm section over the telephone until they had put down the requisite backing tracks.
		Don Alias, jazz percussionist and bandleader, was born on December 25, 1939.

	Don Alias: Artist Update: Modern Drummer Magazine 08/07/2006
		His Heartbeat Tour Reaches The UK Though it took more than five years to become a reality, percussionist/drummer Don Alias's recent seven-city Heartbeat tour of the United Kingdom proved to be well worth the wait.
		It also gave Alias the opportunity to work with such heavyweights as conga virtuoso Giovanni Hidalgo, as well as friends Michael Brecker (tenor sax), Randy Brecker (trumpet), Gil Goldstein (piano), Mitch Stein (guitar), Carlos Benavent (bass), Steve Berrios (congas), and Alex Acu'a (drumset).
		Not surprisingly, the majority of the songs were written and composed by the bandmembers themselves, and featured congas, timbales, bongos, bata, and hand-held percussion.

	TV Squad
		Some of you long time readers of TV Squad -- in particular those who are Alias fans -- know that I've had a love-hate relationship with the show.
		She has an article that pretty much calls J.J. Abrams a "hack," and a "self-plagiarist," because he borrows ideas and themes from Alias for the new Mission: Impossible movie.
		Case in point: not only is Alias in its last season, but tonight is also the 100th episode of the ABC series.
