Introduction Hello there from Chicago

[mike51n]

Greetings--I'm a bassist in Chicago just getting back into playing jazz. I played for several years at Northwestern and have spent the past two years in an Alternative Country band and running music for a Church. If anyone has any good ideas for incorporating jazz into a Church service, drop me a line.

Oh yeah, and if you could grant access to the extra pages that'd be swell.

Best
Mike

aw pete - you stole my thunder. I was just gonna write about the coltrane church, till I scroled down n saw you already written it, with a link too. tisk

Hmm - coltrane being worshiped as a saint. Dont get me wrong I love the guy, but it makes me feel uneasy. (know we have a trane thread running at the mo, but thats full of avant garde banjo discussion, so what they hey thought I'd come here)

Welcome mike - hope you find lots of stuff of interest, and good luck with the jazz
