Check out my schedule page for more info:
Clovis Nicolas is a jazz bass player and composer living in New York City, who graduated from the Juilliard School. His warm, precise and tasteful bass playing gained him a solid reputation on the international scene, which led to performances with artists such as Peter Bernstein, Herbie Hancock, Jeremy Pelt, Brad Mehldau, Harry Allen, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Curtis Fuller.
Parallel to his busy schedule as a sideman, Clovis is also a band leader who released three albums for Sunnyside Record: “Nine Stories” – Best Albums of the Year in DownBeat – “Freedom Suite Ensuite” with Kenny Washington on drums; and “Autoportrait” a solo bass album awarded a 5 stars review in Jazz Magazine.
