BIO
Jedd Chlebowski is an electric bassist known for strong feel, musical adaptability, and the ability to integrate naturally into a wide range of musical environments. His work spans rock, funk, R&B, pop, jazz, and genre-blurring projects, with experience in live performance, recording sessions, and collaborative settings.
As a sideman and collaborator, Jedd’s focus is on serving the music — locking with the rhythm section, supporting the song, and responding in real time to the musicians around him. He is comfortable stepping into established projects as well as helping shape new ones, and is valued for preparation, reliability, and musical sensitivity.
In addition to his ensemble work, Jedd has released a solo electric bass recording, showcasing his compositional voice, multi-tracking (via looping), and creative approach to the instrument. While his solo work explores texture, harmony, and form, his primary professional focus remains ensemble playing and collaboration.
Selected credits include recordings with Mike Stern, Kenny Aronoff, Vernon Reid, Doug Wimbish, Gilby Clarke, Todd Kerns, Brian Tichy, Matt Star, Corey Glover, Will Calhoun
