Chicago guy, does a lot of "experimental" stuff, I saw him once with a real
good free group. But I havent followed real closely. Google turns up some
stuff.

He's done a lot of stuff with Chicago Underground Trio/Duo (Rob
Mazurek, Chad Taylor). He's also in some indie rock bands, I think
Tortoise, Isotope etc...

The Chicago Underground stuff is really good but it's very
experimental...

I knew Jeff at Berklee in 86-87. He liked my cheap Yamaha acoustic
and used to drop into my dorm room to play it sometimes. Great guy --
cool, funny, and a talented, very creative player even then. I'm very
pleased to see he's been successful with Tortoise, Chicago
Underground, and his own stuff. He actually appears in the move "High
Fidelity" as well.
