Sean Conly

Sean Conly is a New York bassist and composer known for his versatility across the acoustic and electric bass and his long presence in the city's creative jazz scene. Born in Gunnison, Colorado and raised in Topeka, Kansas, he found his footing on the Kansas City bandstand alongside veterans such as Jay McShann and Claude "Fiddler" Williams before studying contrabass with Rufus Reid and Todd Coolman at William Paterson University. As a leader he has recorded in an intimate trio format, including the album Hard Knocks with saxophonist Michaël Attias and drummer Satoshi Takeishi. He has worked as a sideman with Freddie Hubbard, Regina Carter, and Nicholas Payton, and since 2009 has taught on the faculty of The Collective School of Music.
