Oteil Burbridge: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Oteil Burbridge

Oteil Burbridge is a rock and pop bassist whose work often moves between ensemble precision and open-ended improvisation. In the Oteil & Friends format, he has shared stages with players like Melvin Seals, Steve Kimock, Jason Crosby, Tom Guarna, and Lamar Williams Jr., building sets that can shift quickly from groove to loose dialogue. In New York City, his appearances at Brooklyn Bowl place that approach in a room built for long, band-driven nights. His playing favors melodic line and pocket over display.
