Carmen Quill

• Experimental
• Jazz
• Singer/Songwriter

Bassist, singer and composer Carmen Quill is recognized for her sound and versatility on the double bass, her captivating performances as a solo artist, and her intuitive sensitivity as an improviser. The Brooklyn-based artist’s songs are unconventional and unassumingly virtuosic, with vivid countermelodies, improvised responses, and richly developed structures often directly reflecting her pithily insightful lyrics. Her debut solo album, Don’t Get Comfy / Nowhere (2021), “thrives on the meeting of reservation and vulnerability, and its songs feel as emotional and virtuosic as a power ballad yet are sparse and withholding as a Rembrandt” (Pitchfork). Quill will present music from her forthcoming album Harmless.
