Jay Anderson

Bassist/Composer/Educator

​​"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."

​I'm very proud of this new project! "In the Briar Patch" was released September 1, 2023. It features Marc Mommaas on tenor saxophone and compositions, and Kenny Wessel on guitar and compositions. I played bass and recorded it. Both Marc and Kenny are incredible musicians in every way. It was an honor to make music with them and we had a ball! It's honest, smart, playful, beautiful and...listenable. You can hear a couple tracks (and several others you may find of interest)  here on my website at the "Listen" page. If you're interested in purchasing it, it's available on Kenny's Bandcamp. You can click on the cover to the right and it will take you straight there. Thank you for your interest!
