JP Schlegelmich: Jazz Musician in New York

About JP Schlegelmich

JP Schlegelmich is a jazz bassist whose work moves between straight-ahead swing and freer, open-form playing. In New York City, he appears at rooms like Bar Bayeux, including in small-group settings led by drummer Vinnie Sperrazza alongside trumpeter-composer Jonathan Finlayson and Hillai Govreen. His playing is attentive to time and texture, built to support quick shifts in direction without crowding the ensemble. The approach favors clarity and responsiveness over solo display.
