| | | | So is John Pennell, my old bass teacher that still writes alot of Alison's stuff...
I left Champaign, Urbana around 1990. There used to be a great scene there with Capt. Rat and the blind Rivets, Champaign, and Duke Tomatoe used to gig there a bunch. Unfortunately, IMO, the scene is dead now...
The best club there used to be Nature's Table... Donald Rafael Garrett, Coltrane's bassist/Bass clarinetist, used to teach in Champaign. Pete Bridgewater, Cecil's dad also gigged alot on 1st street.
there was a lot of history there... |

John | "Her brother bassist?!"
Geez, the guy deserves way more respect than that, especially here at TB. Viktor is his name and he's a monster player. He's the band director for Lyle Lovett, has put out a couple solo albums and has played with many other artists.
Huge pocket and according to what Bill Frisell has said "monster chops." |
