I teach them things I didn't know until I was 35 or 40-things that took me 20 years to learn through rare opportunities to study professional scores.

He arranged and produced Michael Feinstein's Grammy-nominated album The Sinatra Project and Australian singer David Campbell's album On Broadway.Įlliott began his career as a pop piano player, working with a number of local Boston artists and spending two years in Bonnie Raitt's band in the late '70s.
