About Scott Colley
Scott Colley is a jazz bassist, composer, and bandleader. Colley's playing is welcoming and intuitive, even when experimental, and he has an organic approach to harmony and a kaleidoscopic view of improvisation both as a leader and first-call sideman. He's played in several high-profile projects including Still Dreaming with Joshua Redman, Ron Miles, and Brian Blade, and Sorrows & Triumphs with Edward Simon, David Binney, and Blade. He served in Chris Potter's group for 2002's Traveling Mercies and 2007's Song for Anyone, among others. Released in 2007, Colley's Architect of the Silent Moment is a 21st century jazz classic. In the 2010s, Colley worked with guitarists Julian Lage, Nels Cline, and Wolfgang Muthspiel, whose trio he joined in 2020 with Brian Blade; they appeared on that year's Angular Blues, 2023's Dance of the Elders, and 2025's Tokyo. The following year Colley joined Peter Erskine and Alan Pasqua on Peregrine.
