Chicago Bass Ensemble

Members

If you're clever, and have explored this site some already, you will have noticed that our demo CD was recorded as a quartet. But the name of the group is not the Chicago Bass Quartet, but rather the Chicago Bass Ensemble!

The implication is intended! There are great works for groups of basses larger and smaller than a quartet in size. We intend to explore a variety of them. So, our core members are

John Floeter
Jacque Harper
Michael Hovnanian (blog)
and Doug Johnson (other group myspace).

But there are times when we will bring in other players, many of whom have been important and enthusiastic participants in Chicago Bass Ensemble events:

Anton Hatwich
Petya Bagovska (website)
Mark Sonksen (website)
Jason Heath (blog)
Pat "Julian" "PJ" Romane
John Tuck (other group website)
