Description

Karl Clews is a bassist and composer based in Galway in Ireland, who after years as a session player and sideman to visiting artists, including Dr John, David McAlmont and Fred Wesley, has recently become known for his solo bass and bass-led arrangements and original compositions on his YouTube channel.

Inspired by masters of the modern bass such as Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and  Victor Wooten, his mission is to raise awareness of the as yet largely untapped potential of the electric bass guitar as a lead and solo instrument. With three albums of original jazz-fusion material under his belt, Karl recruited saxophonist Bertrand Huvé and drummer Richie Dittrich to form The Karl Clews Trio to present a blistering live set of funky originals and deft bass-led arrangements of classic jazz fusion numbers.
