Has anybody seen Peter Washington play? I saw him this year at the '06 Newport Beach Jazz Festival. He was insane. Super fast licks and innovative soloing. If you haven't heard him, make it a point to do so.

Do you know of some others that are good?
Thanks |

Charlap is going to be in Chicago at the end of the month, and I most definitely plan on going, especially if PW is still in the line-up.

A quick look at the CrissCross website will giv eyou an idea of the range of things he has done for that one label. A personal favorite is Billy Drummond's DUBAI (with Walt Weiskopf and Chris Potter).
There's a great interview in BASS PLAYER a couple of years back.
