Jay Anderson

Bassist/Composer

"Jay Anderson is bedrock, unfailingly solid and dependable, with amazing ability as a soloist and a capacity for rhythmic interplay. He isn't just a functional bass player. He's always part of the ensemble while driving it forward."

Ted Panken - Sept. ‘99

"I'm excited to announce the release of my new recording, DEEPSCAPE on the Steeplechase Label. The release date is
April 15, 2019. It features Billy Drewes on Soprano and Alto Saxophones, Kirk Knuffke on Cornet, Matt Wilson on Drums, Frank Kimbrough on Harmonium and Rogério Boccato on Percussion. In addition to two of my originals and two standards,
it features compositions by a disparate group of composers...Keith Jarrett, Morton Feldman, Billy Joel, Gil Evans, Jim Pepper and Branford Marsalis. I'm really pleased with the end result so I hope you'll check it out!"
