Though they only lasted a duration of three records, the Larsen/Feiten Band left an imprint on soft rock fans and garnered a cult following overseas. Neil Larsen and Buzz Feiten's harmonies and songwriting skills are like Chicago and Steely Dan, but grittier.
Neil Larsen, Buzz Feiten, Lenny Castro, Art Rodriguez & Willie Weeks started the Full Moon project in 1972. Larsen-Feiten was a very succesful partnership and they released 3 albums, two under the Full Moon name and one album as Larsen-Feiten band.
But as a young-adult player, Feiten achieved musicians' musician status in 1971 with the independent project album “Full Moon”, featuring Neil Larsen (keyboards), Freddie Beckmeier (bass), Phillip Wilson (drums), and Brother Gene Dinwiddie on tenor saxophone. Sidemen contributing to Full Moon included Randy Brecker, Airto Moreira, Ray Barretto, Dave Holland, and vocalists Robin Clark and Tasha Thomas. A notable early example of Jazz Fusion, “Full Moon” gained airplay and vinyl album sales in some metropolitan and urban-suburban markets. Neil Larsen and Buzz Feiten has been very active as studio- and live musicians.
