AJ has been featured on the following projects: Faces The Band's "Speak To My Heart" and Daymond Callahan's "Music Society".

Victor Rasputin

Because AJ enjoys composing and has the equipment that gives him the freedom to write without using his saxophones, there has been some confusion about what instruments he could actually play live.  The confusion increased as more and more people heard the songs that would later be released on "The Journey" and "The Journey 2".  Because the majority of his friends expect him to play his sax on every song he releases, AJ released those projects under the name "Victor Rasputin". 

As we move into forward, there is no word on whether or not "Victor Rasputin" will release any more projects.
