- About Me:
- Becoming Known as, Bass Artisan, Christopher Dean Sullivan is one of the most versatile bassist of many musical languages: Reggae, Caribbean, Latin, Jazz, Indian, African, and Eurocentric perceptions, rock, country, and more. Chris is well traveled throughout the U.S., the Caribbean Islands and Europe. He has recorded and /or shared the stage with other such notables as Stanley Jordan, Joe Mcphee, Odean Pope, Pucho and the Latin Soul Brothers, Irene Reid, Pete Seeger, Charlie Persip, Yusef Lateef, Grant Green, Horace Parlan, Judi Silvano, Della Griffin, Archie Schepp, Sonny Simmons, Michael Marcus, Tony Velez, Joe Lovano, among many others. Chris Sullivan can be heard on various records and CDs from jazz, latin, and blues to acoustic folk, funk and gospel. The most recent collaborative release of Barbara Sfraga & Center Search Quest "Timelessness Frozen in Time" (SyncTimiCity), with Barbara Sfraga, soundrhythium Michael T.A. Thompson, pianist Mala Waldron (daughter of Mal Waldron) and reedist Allen Won, has received critical acclaim in the new music catagory~Jazz-World, as well as a voice and bass rendition with Sheila Jordan of the Bobby Timmons/Oscar Brown Jr. tune "Dat Dere" for the Sound Visions Media Group compilation release. Christopher Dean Sullivan's approach is heartfelt and is accessed first of all by intensive listening -- to himself, to the elemental structure of a tune, to the soul of his fellow musicians, and to his own quest for the purest, more direct expression of sound and feeling and is a prime advocate for perpetuating Jazz entertainment into the World Genre.
..."Chris Sullivan, a bassist whose authoritative and bluesy bendings of the notes honor his affection for legends such as Slam Stewart as well as Ray Brown".. ~ Steve Monroe, Jazz Journalists Association
