Don Mopsick
Jazz bassist based in Southwest Florida.
About Me
A native of New Jersey and educated at Rutgers, Berklee and the
Manhattan School of Music, Mopsick joined the Jim Cullum Jazz Band
in
1991 and left in 2010. During a thirteen-year free-lance career in
Florida, he played
concert dates with Al Cohn, Mousey and Tracy Alexander, Don Lamond,
Buddy DeFranco, Clark Terry, Warren Vaché Jr., Scott Hamilton, Red
Rodney, Flip Phillips, Howard Alden, Dan Barrett, Kenny Davern, and
many others.
Don currently lives in Cape Coral, FL.
In Don's bass playing, one hears echoes of bass greats Bill Johnson,
Pops Foster, and Milt Hinton. Mopsick presents something endearing to
musicians and jazz fans of an earlier era: a completely acoustic
approach.
