Paul Gill

Paul Gill is a veteran of the New York jazz scene, a bassist known for buoyant, swinging lines and virtuosic arco solos. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, he established himself as a mainstay of the Baltimore and Washington area from 1984 to 1994, working with fellow hometown musician Gary Bartz and backing visiting artists such as Benny Golson, Stanley Turrentine, and Rosemary Clooney. After moving to New York in the mid 1990s he began working with the vocalese singer Jon Hendricks, and Jazz Times hailed him as one of the brightest of the up-and-coming bassists. He has appeared as a sideman on more than sixty recordings and performed with Hank Jones, Joe Henderson, Bill Charlap, George Coleman, Eric Alexander, and Kurt Elling, among many others. A fixture of the city's mainstream and bebop circuit, he works regularly at clubs including Smalls and Mezzrow.
