Lisle Ellis is active as a musician - acoustic &
electronic, visual artist, lecturer in creative
process and jazz history. As a bassist/composer/improvisor
he has performed and recorded with many of the world's
foremost muscians in the field of jazz, improvised,
creative and new and experimental musics. Currently living
in New York City, Ellis leads his own ensemble whose music
often reflects his interest in electronic music and its applications
in improvisational contexts as well as his ongoing relationship with the
acoustic bass.
DIS-CLAIMER:
I'm sorry to say this is not much of a website ... it's a very basic layout with
a short bio, a photo or two and, maybe most importantly, a current list of my perfomance activity.
There are no audio clips but you can hear samples of various aspects of my music
and specific projects, both collaborative and otherwise,
by following the links below.
