#10 Sandy Eldred

My guest today is one of the most versatile and commanding bassists in Philadelphia, Sandy Eldred. 

His big sound, and innovative ideas have made him a top call both in the US and abroad. He’s played in many of my favorite large ensembles including the South Philly Big Band, Slow Burn, Norman David’s Eleventet, and Bobby Zankel and the Warriors of the Wonderful Sound. As well as a founding member of wildly energetic U.S.E. Trio, which as grammy nomination season is upon us, gets my vote. In our conversation we touch upon many topics including performing with the Norman David Eleventet, sight reading, overcoming fear, USE trio, Ben Schachter, ‘Trio of Many’, cultivating creative spaces to play, and his travels in Ukraine.
