| |
| New York bassist Drew Gress became increasingly visible in contemporary |
| improvised music throughout the 1980s and 1990s. In the late '80s, he |
| co-founded the quartet Joint Venture, which released three albums on |
| Enja spanning 1987-1994. Later, Gress led his own N.Y.-based quartet, |
| Jagged Sky, who released their debut, Heyday, in 1998 on Soul Note. The |
| late '90s also found Gress performing and recording in Paraphrase, an |
| improvising trio with Tim Berne and Tom Rainey. Paraphrase released two |
| CDs during the 1990s on Berne's Screwgun label: Visitation Rites in |
| 1997, and 1999's Please Advise. Gress has performed across Europe; Asia; |
| and North, Central, and South America. He has served as |
| artist-in-residence at University of Colorado-Boulder and Russia's St. |
| Petersburg Conservatory, and has received grants from Meet the Composer |
| and the NEA. In addition to the groups already mentioned, Gress also |
| performs in many other projects, including Erik Friedlander's Chimera, |
| the Fred Hersch Trio, the Don Byron Quartet, and Dave Douglas' string |
| group, which released an album on Soul Note entitled Convergence in |
| 1999. |
