Chicago based bassist/composer and bandleader, Matt Ulery, has produced and released 16 critically acclaimed albums of all original music under his name. In 2014, he performed with his Quintet on the NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series and was featured in Vanity Fair Magazine in a “rising jazz stars” feature article.  Known for his sweeping lyricism, unconventional phrase structures, expressionistic emotionalism, Ulery’s music, from small, diverse chamber ensembles to full orchestras, is informed by the entire spectrum of jazz, classical, rock, pop, and folk– specifically American, South American, Balkan, and other European folk styles. He has been performing for 30 years on upright, electric, and brass basses.  Recent accolades include the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events Esteemed Artist Award in 2021 and the highly prestigious Platform Award from the Walder Foundation in 2024.
