Dill sadly died on the same day as Louis. He’s remembered for his involvement with bands such as Paraphenalia and Nucleus, on bass. In fact he was known latterly as the main go-to person for hiring double basses to top visitors and continuing playing, though mainly at the 606.
But there’s another side of his legacy where we feel part of a continuity. He helped found The Premises, as, initially a rehearsal studio for jazz. As it grew, it has become a place beyond many jazz musicians’ pockets. So we have taken on the role as the Vortex.
