Joe Sanders (bassist)

[1][2][3][4] In 2023, saxophonist Joshua Redman described Sanders to the New York Times as among "the greats of [his] generation and [one] of the most active and emulated musicians on the scene today.

[6] A 2002 Milwaukee High School of the Arts graduate, Sanders studied music at the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific in California under bassist Christian McBride after winning a rare scholarship to the then-new program.

He studied under Terence Blanchard, learning from John Clayton and Bob Hurst, and moved to New York thereafter.

[10] Sanders has performed in Vietnam and India with Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, and toured North America and Europe with the Roy Hargrove Quintet.

[11][12] He collaborated with Justin Brown as a member of Gerald Clayton's trio, and toured with Charles Lloyd as part of his quartet in 2015.
