Researched musician profile
About Liz Draper
Draper’s official biography identifies her as an upright and electric bassist, composer, producer, and educator. MacPhail’s faculty profile documents jazz and classical training, a University of Minnesota double-bass degree, and further study at New York’s School for Improvised Music.[1][2]
Both profiles describe a practice extending from jazz and chamber strings to folk, experimental, Balkan, and rock settings. MacPhail places her teaching in Minneapolis, while the artist site distinguishes touring collaborations from Draper’s own solo work.[1][2]
Draper’s artist-run Bandcamp preserves the solo-bass EP Hours, the 2025 album Meno, and the later track Thaw. Her official site pairs that catalog with an artist YouTube channel and describes Meno as the central document of her composition-led solo practice.[3][1]
Meno

MacPhail documents University of Minnesota training, improvised-music study, and Draper’s Minneapolis faculty role.[2]
