Michael Bisio

Michael Bisio (March 4, 1955 Troy, New York) is an American jazz double bass player, composer and bandleader.

Michael Bisio bassist/composer

Bassist for the Matthew Shipp Trio since 2009.

"His expressive touch is distinctive." The New York Times

"The fleet-fingered and pitch-perfect Bisio ends the piece with an absolutely jaw-dropping solo." BBC Review, Bill Tilland

"...he is a marvelously inventive bassist that seemingly has burst forth over the years as a musical trunk rather than a branch. His technique is formidable, both pizzicato and arco, and he taps into a virtually inexhaustible wellspring of musical ideas when he plays."
