Rising bassist Alexander Claffy delivers a full stream of his self-titled debut CLAFFY LP, out now via Ropeadope Records. The project from The New School alum boasts five original compositions and a striking take on the celebrated standard “I’ll Be Seeing You.” Billed as “a deeply personal story of heartbreak,” the 9-track release features Matt Stevenson on vocals, Victor Gould on piano, Michael King on organ and keys, Benny Benack III on trumpet, Ben Eunson on guitar, Matt Chalk and Troy Roberts on saxophone, Kyle Poole and Jonathan Barber on drums and David Gibson on trombone.
23 year old Alexander Claffy was raised in a musical household (his father is a pianist, his mother, a vocalist), and had many of his earliest lessons on bandstands in the heart of Philadelphia. As a teenager, Claffy was fortunate enough to find a mentor in many Philly natives, and has continued his study of the double bass with some of the world's finest musicians, including Ron Carter, Dwayne Burno and Orin O'Brien. Since moving to New York City in 2011, he has had the honor of working with many of his living heroes, including Johnny O'Neal, Jimmy Cobb, Louis Hayes, Sean Jones, Russell Malone, Christian Scott, Wallace Roney and many more. In the past 3 years he has appeared on records with Victor Lewis, Orrin Evans, JD Allen and more. Alexander currently resides in Harlem.
