ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Marc Piane: The anchor of the Quartet, my favorite acoustic bassist, and a ferocious dancer. Seriously - give him a tamborine.
Damian Espinosa: The brains of the Quartet, and a monster pianist. Little hands, but he plays like he has eight of them.
Tyrone Blair: The engine of the Quartet, and a stand-up guy. He's like a cross between Clint Eastwood and Dennis Chambers.
The J. Davis Trio.: Definitely Chicago's best live hip-hop band, a frequent employer...and a great group of guys. The mutant offspring of The Modern Jazz Quartet and A Tribe Called Quest.
Tommy Bradford: One of my favorite local saxophonists, a fashion plate, and my opponent in an ongoing "jazz beef." My buddy.
Jeffrey Lien: A burnin' and creative drummer - and a fellow Evanston resident.
Jarrard Harris: Wonderful alto saxophonist, educator, and a longtime friend. Clearly one of the handsomest men in Chicago. Seriously. This man cannot take a bad picture.
Lori McClain: Jazz vocalist, actress, comedienne...she does it all - and quite well, I might add.
Deep Blue Organ Trio: I LOVE this band. I defy you to find a tighter, funkier, more organic band (of ANY genre) in the city of Chicago. Some people go to church on Sundays. I go to the Green Mill on Tuesdays to see this band.
Jordan Baskin: A motherf***er of a piano player, and a fellow IU alum. To quote Marc Piane, Jordan definitely DOES NOT suck.
Will Howard: Raconteur, producer, and a FRIGHTENING electric bassist.
Dudley Owens: Monster young alto player. He sounds like Bunky Green on steroids.
Greg Ward: Awesomely talented and open-minded, and ubiquitous alto saxophonist. He plays so good, I want to break his fingers.
Eric Koppa: Bad-ass saxophonist, member of the Prohibition Orchestra, and all around decent fellow.
Steve Hashimoto: Great electric bassist, writer, town crier, and a voice of reason in this crazy business of music.
Ethan Sellers: Your one-stop shop for all things Ethan - musician, composer, thinker, affable guy. Leader of Tautologic. He also designed the cover for the new CGQ album.
Kalyan Pathak: Jazz drummer, percussionist and tabla MASTER.
Tommi Zender: Killer multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.
Chris Rob: Insanely talented singer and multi-instrumentalist. Chicago-born and NY based. The only man EVER to "out-Prince" me. EVER.
The Voodoo Kings: High energy blues-funk-rock band based in Chicago. Led by guitarist Mike Kranicke.

OTHER COOL STUFF

CDBaby.com
Shorefront: A quarterly publication documenting the African-American experience in Chicago's Northern suburbs.
Brookfield Jazz Society: A great, unpretentious group of jazz fans located in the western suburbs. You honestly couldn't ask for a more supportive and enthusiastic audience.
Hot Chicks with Douchebags.: Self-explanatory.
The Criterion Collection: Fellow movie nerds...UNITE!
African-American history links: Something for everybody.
Black People Love Us!: Indeed. This site is BRILLIANT.
Tucker Max!: Visit, read, and understand. An unlikely guru, of sorts.
Ed Motta: If Stevie Wonder, Jobim, and Chick Corea had a child, raised him in Brazil, and made him listen to American soul, Steely Dan and Broadway musical soundtracks - he might sound a little like this guy. One of my favorite artists.
Mint Condition: One of my favorite bands - and one of the most criminally underrated groups on the planet. Why these guys haven't really blown up the way they should requires a serious investigation.
Paul Maslin: Saxophonist, instrument repair person extrodinare.
My Damn Forum: A great online bulletin board. Post your music and have it critiqued. Discuss music, politics, religion, etc...
Nick Eipers: Producer, engineer, and audio professor. The best ears in town.
Branford Marsalis: Branford. Geez -- I should just quit and get a real job.
Maceo Parker: I owe my whole career to "Life on Planet Groove." In short, no Maceo, no me.
Steve Coleman: One of the best alto sax players and conceptualists on the planet - and a pivotal influence in everything I do. Born and raised in Chicago.
Gina Barge: Multi-talented writer, blogger, and wry urban sociolgist.
