Isaac Jaffe
Brooklyn based bassist and composer
About Me
Cited by All About Jazz as a bassist with “all the groovy elasticity
necessary to encompass the melodic complexity of compositions,”
Isaac Jaffe is a strong voice in a new generation of musicians.
Isaac has recorded and performed with many musicians in New York
City’s diverse jazz scene including Robert Dick and Mara Rosenbloom,
while continuing to collaborate with contemporaries in the burgeoning
Brooklyn rock scene.
In the spring of 2009 Isaac recorded and self released his first CD Of
Pandas and People, introducing his unique voice as a composer and
nimble work on the upright bass. Isaac’s follow up, Telenovela Vol. 1
continues to break new ground in the development of his energetic and
melodic instrumental music and has been celebrated by Bird is the
Worm for Isaac’s “strong voice on bass” on this “easy to like” album.
Isaac has also written for film and television in diverse settings including
work scoring the Martin Sheen narrated documentary Return to El
Salvador and creating music used for NBC’s late night sports
programming.
