Keith DeStefano

The music of bassist/composer, Keith DeStefano is mercurial. He combines the traditional with the avant-garde, taut arrangements with free jazz, classical influences with genre music, angular bitonality with gentle lyricism, far out grooves with driving swing. In the words of Homer Jackson, director of the Philadelphia Jazz Project, “One of the studious legions of the great Charles Mingus is Philadelphia bassist/composer Keith DeStefano. With a lushness and rich, warm tonality, that can be sweet or dangerous. Puzzlebox shares music of great texture, depth, and voluptuousness” Keith grew up in Red Bank, NJ
