As one of the most admired, accomplished bassists working in jazz today, Larry Grenadier has been praised as “a deeply intuitive” musician by The New York Times and as an instrumentalist with a “fluid sense of melody” by Bass Player magazine. Grenadier has created an expansive body of work in collaboration with many of the genre’s most inventive, influential musicians – from his early days playing with sax icons Joe Henderson and Stan Getz to decades performing alongside pianist Brad Mehldau, from extended experiences working with the likes of Charles Lloyd, Paul Motian and Pat Metheny to co-leading the cooperative trio Fly (with Mark Turner and Jeff Ballard) and quartet Hudson (with John Scofield, John Medeski and Jack DeJohnette). Over a performing and recording career that now spans four decades, it has been not only Grenadier’s instrumental virtuosity and instantly recognizable tone that have made him such an in-demand collaborator but also his uncommon artistic sensitivity, imagination and curiosity.

Grenadier’s solo work includes his 2019 ECM recording, The Gleaners, his first album of solo bass. The recording features a collection of original compositions alongside pieces by George Gershwin, John Coltrane and Paul Motian, as well as two pieces written especially for Grenadier by guitarist and fellow ECM artist Wolfgang Muthspiel. The album also includes an instrumental interpretation of a song by his wife and frequent collaborator, singer-songwriter Rebecca Martin.
