About

The only way to describe Bill’s playing is you have to see it to believe it. He is a seasoned, classically trained bass player who can caress his instrument with the gentle beauty of Charles Mingus or Jaco Pastorius, lay down that fat, milky groove or blow you away with bone-breaking chops and mind-altering harmonic inventiveness.

Bill Ferri began his formal training in jazz and classical music at age 14 under the guidance of Jesse Bastos, bass player for the renown Johnny A, and, later, with Dr. Steven Lajoie, who heads the Jazz Department at Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI).  Bill has also had the pleasure of studying privately with Bill Miele, who has performed with such acts as Tavarez, Greg Abate and the John Allmark Band.  More>>
