Trevor Dunn

I've lived in three cities my whole life: Eureka, San Francisco and Brooklyn. The first electric bass player I ever checked out was Stanley Clarke and in 1990 I bought an Alembic. First upright player I got into was Mingus. I stole my mom's 1959 vinyl copy of Ah Um which I still have to this day. One of my first bass teachers gave me an unlabeled cassette with a bunch of great bass excerpts on it. Years later I would discover it was a bunch of Jaco and Sly Stone (mostly Bobby Vega) and Larry Graham. I've been playing bass now for 38 years.
