Through the seventies, McNeill also taught Afro-American Music History, private flute lessons, and was instrumental in launching the Jazz Studies Program at Rutgers University. Mr. McNeill exhibited his paintings and drawings at several galleries and colleges in the North East of America. As a flutist and composer, McNeill recorded eight albums of music as leader, from the 1969 release, 'Asha', to the latest album, 'X.Tem.Por.E', produced in 1998. He published two volumes of his poems: 'Blackline, A Collection of Poems, Drawings and Photographs,' and 'After The Rain, A Collection of New Poems.'
