With his Music Bridges A.T.W. events, he has created original events around the world. In the late 80s he initiated Music Speaks Louder Than Words, the historic summit of US and Soviet songwriters which included artists Diane Warren, Brenda Russell, Cyndi Lauper and Michael Bolton. Then, Country and Eastern featured a collaboration of American, Romanian, Czech and Slovakian songwriters. Pacific Harmony was a musical excursion to south Asia, with artists from Indonesia, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Australia, where Alan was joined by The Scorpions, jazzman Dave Koz and hitsmith Allan Rich. Then came Celtic Harmony in 1997, which took place in Dublin, Ireland -- bringing together US and Irish songwriters. Recently, Alan produced Music Bridges...Over Troubled Waters, in Havana in March 1999. This event brought together Cubas Instituto Cubano de la Musica and Ministerio de Cultura, and the U.S. Treasury Department, in the first large-scale cultural exchange between the two countries in over 35 years. Artists included Burt Bacharach, Peter Buck (REM), Bonnie Raitt, actor Woody Harrelson, Jimmy Buffett, Stewart Copeland, Andy Summers, Mick Fleetwood, Lisa Loeb and Don Was. On the Cuban side were such luminaries as Chuco Valdez, Alberto Tosca, Carlos Varels and members of the bands Los Van Van, Sintesis and Columna B.
