About Jake Leckie: Jake Leckie creates organic soulful avant-groove folk-jazz for the people! With firm roots in jazz, his bass playing is informed by classical, gospel, latin, folk, & hip-hop. He has played internationally at festivals including Newport and Havana Jazz, toured with Sixto Rodriguez, The Harlem Gospel Travelers, and Matthew Whittaker, and worked as a session bassist with multi-platinum Grammy award winning producer Daniel Tannenbaum (aka Bekon) on recordings for charting pop artists such as Jessie Murph. He has performed with a diverse array of musicians including Cat Toren, Hitomi Oba, Susan Alcorn, Matana Roberts, String Orchestra of Brooklyn, Vardan Ovsepian, and Pacific Mambo Orchestra. His work as a composer can be heard on PBS, BBC, HBO, CNN, and NBC (including Saturday Night Live), and on the comedy-dance-sketch-fantasy Snowy Bing Bongs Across The North Star Combat Zone. This program is made possible by the generous donors to the Cary Library Foundation.
