As a young boy growing up, Craig could always pick out the bass lines in any music that he would hear. Whether it was Bach or the Beatles, he would just naturally start humming the bass lines. My mother remembers me always humming the bass lines, even at the dinner table. The first time he put a bass in my hands, he realized this is where he belongs. He went on to study bass with renowned jazz artist Sonny Dallas in the early 1980's. He has played in various groups throughout Long Island and the New York area and currently plays bass for the Pamela Betti Band. He has recently returned to school to live out his dream of getting a degree in Jazz Performance and continue his journey on the electric bass and is full time a student at City College in Manhattan where he has studied with Lincoln Goines and John Patitucci.
Some of his musical influences are: Paul Chambers, Jaco Pastorius, Christian McBride, Pat Metheny, Phil Lesh, Jack Casady, Marcus Miller, Bach, Mozart, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and so many more.

Vince Lewis Quartet A Different Standard
This exciting new release is comprised of some of the best music ever
written. Vince has drawn from the classic hymns and placed them into a
contemporary jazz setting. Along with Tom Hildreth (bass) and Phil Riddle
(drums) the group has added Phil Thompson on woodwinds. Sure to satisfy
fans of the Vince Lewis Trio's previous music, this work will also expose
his audience to reverential treatments of meaningful and timeless Christian
favorites.
This collection is sure to bring back memories of singing these wonderful
hymns in church. Selections include, "Precious Lord Take My Hand," "In The
Garden" and "Worthy of Worship." Each tune is a celebration of the
original intent of the composer presented in mainstream jazz styles.
