Chicago-based bassist/composer and bandleader, Matt Ulery, has developed an instantly recognizable sound. Known for his sweeping lyricism, unconventional phrase structures, expressionistic emotionalism, Ulery’s music, from small, diverse chamber ensembles to full orchestras, is informed by the entire spectrum of jazz, classical, rock, pop, and folk styles. He has been performing for 25 years on upright, electric, and brass basses.
For over two decades, Ulery has been the leader of his own groups and frequent collaborator. Ulery has produced and released 10 albums of all original music under his name including three recent releases of critical acclaim, By a Little Light, Wake an Echo, and In the Ivory, on Dave Douglas’s Greenleaf Music record label in 2012-2014 and his latests, Festival (2016), Sifting Stars (2018), Delicate Charms (2019), and Pollinator (2020), on his own label, Woolgathering Records.
