A Fourier-type integral representation for Bessel's function of the first kind and complex order is obtained by using the Gegenbuaer extension of Poisson's integral representation for the Bessel function along with a trigonometric integral representation of Gegenbauer's polynomials. This representation lets us express various functions related to the incomplete gamma function in series of Bessel's functions. Neumann series of Bessel functions are also considered and a new closed-form integral representation for this class of series is given. The density function of this representation is simply the analytic function on the unit circle associated with the sequence of coefficients of the Neumann series. Examples of new closed-form integral representations of special functions are also presented.
