Bass

 

The Connection: The newest member of the Chuck Lambert Band, bassist Eddie Ellis has quickly become a vital force within the ensemble. Whether he is locking in a deep shuffle or performing as part of the "Chuck & Eddie" duo, his fluid lines and rhythmic pocket provide a sophisticated anchor for the group.

​

The Local Beat: Eddie is a familiar face on the jazz and blues circuit and at the Shore’s most prestigious events, from the Reckless Steamy Nights series to the Jersey Shore Jazz & Blues Festival. His mastery of the bass is equally at home on the big stages of Asbury Park as it is in the intimate rooms of Red Bank.

​

The Music: Eddie’s playing is a seamless fusion of jazz-trained precision and the grit of Chicago blues. He treats the bass as a primary melodic voice, utilizing an incredible dynamic range to elevate the instrument from a supporting role to a centerpiece of every performance.
