A visual artist by nature, Lisle Ellis's musical persona is a product of the influence of some conservatory training in Canada, the now legendary Creative Music Studio, and the 1970’s New York City Loft Jazz scene. After leaving his native Vancouver, Ellis, an improvising bassist whose 3 decades of work spans Cecil Taylor to Matmos, gained experience in the communities of Toronto, San Francisco, and Montreal before taking up NYC residency in 2005.
