Photos from the Chicago Bass Festival
Here’s a sampling of images from the 2010 Chicago Bass Festival, which was held on February 7th at Ravinia’s Bennett-Gordon Hall in Highland Park, IL. More pics (and videos!) to follow shortly!
Here I am introducing the clinicians. Spot any familiar faces? There are at least 4 or 5 former Contrabass Conversations guests:
Check out how packed the lobby was! We had 130 participants, 30 clinicians, and another 40 or 50 vendors, siblings, and parents roaming the two levels of this facility:
I like this shot of all the cases piled in the balcony:
Here’s a shot of Trevor Jones of Molehill giving a clinic on managing your own music:
Michael Hovnanian arriving, well-bundled for the winter weather:
The Chicago Bass Ensemble performing, one of six events happening simultaneously at the 2 pm time slot:
More to come, and we hope to see you there next year!
Winter, winter, winter…

Meet ISB president-elect John Kennedy
Here’s a pic of International Society of Bassists president-elect John Kennedy “hard at work” during the 2009 Convention.
Oklahoma City University bass professor John Schimek is also pictured here, and all folks are apparently in leis. Though I was at the convention, I missed this moment, so I’m not sure what’s going on exactly, but I’m sure there’s a good reason for it all…
My neck of the woods in winter
It’s hard to believe that this will be a sunny field full of happy people in shorts in three months:
Cats and basses
Much hilarity ensues during a photo shoot for the 2010 International Society of Bassists Calendar:
