I play in Chicago. Except when I go on vaction and visit my friends, then I play in Europe. I did a gig in Umea last December, playing Motown. We were going to do "The Letter", but the gig was over first. Last Friday I played at the Get Me High Lounge. I will be playing again around the end of March. I was on WBEZ's jazz formum with the same band during last January, doing a broadcast. WBEZ is the NPR station in Chicago, although this program was not under the auspices of NPR. Now and then I play at a place called Lower Links, which is an artsie hangout in Chicago. Even though we play a lot of free jazz (such as Ornette Coleman) it probably is too in for that place. Otherwise, for most jazz clubs we are too out. Especially for those yuppie places in Lakeview such as Oz or Pops. I am in another band and we are probably going to do another WBEZ broadcast soon.
