Career Overview
About Alexander Claffy
Claffy's official biography identifies him as a New York City-based bassist and bandleader who moved from Philadelphia in 2011. It traces his study with Ron Carter, Dwayne Burno, and Orin O'Brien and his work with Jimmy Cobb, Louis Hayes, Harold Mabern, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and other bandleaders.[1]
His authorized catalog documents a growing leader practice: Good Spirits uses a quintet for original music and selected standards, Memento expands the palette with guitar, reeds, piano, and vibraphone, and Alive in Philadelphia records an all-star band at the club where Claffy developed as a young musician.[2][3][4]
