Chip Boaz

I am a bass player, composer, educator, and writer from the San Francisco Bay Area with a passionate interest in Latin Jazz. I focus my bass playing on a combination of Latin greats such as Israel “Cachao” Lopez and Jazz players like John Patitucci. My composition follows in the footsteps of Latin Jazz legends such as Tito Puente and Chucho Valdes. I've had the priviledge to play with great musicians such as Pete “El Conde” Rodriguez, Karl Pereza, Mark Levine, and more. I regularly update a blog entitled The Latin Jazz Corner. In fact, I'm not sure if there is a moment during the day when I'm not hearing clave in my head.
