Back, before social networking was as prevalent as it is, it occurred to me that I live in one of the largest cities in the United States. Music has always been one of the defining elements of Chicago. However, most record labels, and most musicians often choose to consider cities like New York, Los Angeles, Nashville or Austin to move to. So, I felt that we needed to create something that would light the spotlight on Chicago. Another reason I formed the Chicago Rhythm Collective was to put bass players and drummers together. Often, we have bass clinics where drummers are not invited. Drummers have drum clinics where bass players are not invited. Interestingly, on stage, we have to work together. So, my thought was, why not put together clinics, events, etc., that bring both bass players and drummers together? We had a great run as a group. We featured music workshops, studio workshops, etc. This collective has since been disbanded and folded into the Chicago Bass Players page on Facebook.
