Chris Bacas: Jazz Musician in New York

About Chris Bacas

Chris Bacas is a jazz saxophonist heard in New York City rooms like Barbès, where he has performed with Percy Jones & MJ12. In that project, he works alongside bassist Percy Jones—known for his earlier tenure in Brand X—and composer-drummer Stephen Moses, with guitarist David Phelps in the lineup. Bacas’s playing often functions as a counter-voice to the rhythm section, shaping the group’s angular themes and open passages. His performances favor precision and interplay over display.
