JEROME WOLFBiography

Born to a family of musicians, he was introduced to music at an early age. At the age of 7, he took clarinet lessons at the conservatoire of music, and then moved on to the piano a few years later.

It was at the age of 12, whilst listening to Baron Browne's solo on an album from drummer Billy Cobham, that he really discovered his love for electric bass.

He started to learn to play the bass with guitarist Pascal Masselon and then went on to pass the entry exam for the department of improvised music at the Strasbourg conservatoire of music, where he studied with Bernard Struber, Latif Chaarani, Jean Pierre Herzog, Jean Daniel Hégé, Stéphan Oliva.

He now plays the 7 string bass, (thanks to his collaboration with luthier Jean-Philippe Ferreira)  an instrument still quite rare in France, and he is currently trying out a 10 string bass. To help others to discover these instruments, he has created the website bass6, and is also involved in the creation of the association Bazic' in collaboration with William Martin and Jean-Philippe Ferreira. The main goal of Bazic' is to organise events and provide services for bass players.

Musically, Jérôme is currently involved in numerous projects from Jazz to Funk, including Fusion.

His favorite artists include: Alain Caron, Dominique Di Piazza, Richard Bona, Stanley Clarke, John Patitucci, Michel Alibo, Ron Carter, Dave Holland, Charles Mingus, Michel Camilo, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten .
