Perry Wortman

Born: November 30, 1978

Perry Wortman is a bassist who spent fifteen years in Brooklyn playing music that didn't fit neatly into a genre: South Indian Carnatic classical repertoire, jazz trios, old American folk songs, chamber writing, indie rock. He has mostly worked as a sideman, and he's good at the part of the job that doesn't get written about, which is making a band sound like a band.

He grew up in Tulsa and moved to New York to study with Buster Williams at the New School, then finished his degree at the Manhattan School of Music with Jay Anderson. His first record came out of those years. The Paislies was recorded in Brooklyn in 2005 and released by Fresh Sound New Talent, the Barcelona label that gave Robert Glasper, Kris Davis and Ambrose Akinmusire their early records. The band was nominally led by drummer Paul Wiltgen and guitarist Jesse Lewis, but it ran as a composers' collective. The music sat between jazz and progressive rock. They toured Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands.
