Henry Fraser
Born in Boston, MA in 1991, Henry Fraser grew up immersed in music - singing, playing piano and cello, studying theory and ear training. He began playing the double bass at 14, sparking an interest in improvisation via the music of Charles Mingus. Fraser moved to NYC in 2014, after graduating from New England Conservatory of Music, and has been actively working in the areas of jazz, free-improv, noise, and spectral music. Much of Fraser’s work is rooted in his music for solo double bass, which has culminated in three releases - Briggs, Buzzed, and as is the morning, is - establishing him as a technical and creative force among his generation of bassists. The self-titled release of his band, The Full Salon, was featured in Rolling Stone’s “6 Paths Through Jazz in 2020”. Fraser has toured throughout the US and abroad, playing such venues as the Panama Jazz Festival, Mompox Jazz Festival, Moers Festival, Unlimited Festival in Wels, Austria, Roulette Intermedium, Joe’s Pub, and Pioneer Works.
