Jack Dryden
6-String Bass
Jack Dryden is one of the most versatile bassists, dominating the instrument in all its forms. He first started on the guitar in Junior High cover bands dressed as The Beatles. However, Jack studied classical standup bass at the collegiate level in Boston Berkeley College of Music, yet performs professionally in a plethora of genres, including jazz, funk, and classical. His history of performances highlights his versatility as well, from Broadway pits to his chair in the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and even with Aretha Franklin!
Jack has been a pillar in the Jeff Haas trio for 30 years and to Jeff’s surprise, the man even plays a mean electric 6-string. Jack prevails on all 6 strings, slapping the bass during his funk driven solos and groovy baselines with Big Fun. In his free time, he enjoys watching sunsets on the beach and a nice glass of Malbec to enjoy Northern Michigan's color pallet during the Summer season.
