iirc Bob Cranshow said that he started playing electric because he had back problems playing the upright after a car accident, I also seem to remember that Sonny once said in an interview that he prefers the electric because it gave him a stronger bounce or something like that.

Congrats to Mr. Cranshaw. Glad he got the award. Once had the chance to meet him personally and talk to him a bit backstage at a Sonny Rollins concert i attended with his brother Emmanuel. A true gentleman.

as scenes change a fair amount has moved away too (thankfully maintaning some connections)Aaram Shelton, Jeff Parker, jeb Bishop Nikki Mitchell Mazurek Greg Ward Ben Paterson Willem Delisfort .and many more scenes are ever changeing. iwonder what Kahil ElZabar's plans for an academy will bring for the future. the faculty looks good according to this article. i missed it. did anybody else attend the benefit concert? http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/reich/ct-ott-1106-jazz-scene-20151102-column.

the talk about the velvet and past influences made me a bit nostalgic. i am watching this, nice snapsot on the scene for those who haven;t seen it; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ni4YpFq7OdE

Let's not forget Hamid Drake. I'd think that DKV was probably instrumental to put Vandermark on a bigger map; also a strong bridge to Fred Anderson and the Velvet.

yes, like many others, i heard Paul Giallorenzo the first time at a velvet jam session. Vonski's jam sessions as well.
