CHRISTOPHER DEAN SULLIVAN, bass

Originally from Pittsburg, the Hudson Valley is now home for this creative artist. Sullivan has shared the stage in performance and recorded with Archie Schepp, Sheila Jordan, Yusef Lateef, Odean Pope, Freddie Hubbard to name a few.

“… Sullivan plays not just the upright bass strings but the bass itself, throwing himself into the performance not to draw the spotlight, but to impart a palpable joie de vive to go with his rhythmic, rippling (think Charlie Haden) bass tones.”
