JSngry Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 His presence here was always vital, energetic, very much alive and present. I can only imagine what it must have been in the real world. Surely, a mark has been made with this life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Nessa Posted October 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 Uli was manager/bartender for Fred Anderson's Velvet Lounge from 2001 'til the closing in 2010. Since then he followed the music scene in a number of Chicago venues. I most frequently encountered him at Constellation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Reynolds Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Sad news. Very happy to have met him on a trip to The Velvet Lounge in 1998 or 99. He was an excellent host and a true jazz guy. All about the music. RIP, Uli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
