A New Side of Dwayne Dolphin: Off Minor Jazz Series - Alphabet City

Pittsburgh-born bassist, bandleader, and educator Dwayne Dolphin has been an essential member of the jazz scene and a major artistic force for many years. He is a world-class acoustic and electric bassist, and in the late 1990s Dwayne began playing the electric piccolo bass. His piccolo band played strictly in an R&B funk setting for years, and now Off Minor features Dwayne playing his electric piccolo bass in a straight ahead, acoustic jazz setting. Something he’s never done before! Repertoire includes music from the jazz and American songbook catalog, and a few surprises.  

Featured musicians:
Dwayne Dolphin – electric piccolo bass
Antonio Croes – piano
Paul Thompson – acoustic bass
Thomas Wendt – drums
