CLARENCE SEAY BASSIST, VOCALS Clarence Seay (jazz bassist,composer born 1957 Washington, DC) Seay has been an acoustic bassist with the Wallace Roney Quintet for over 15 years. Seay, also known as ?Big C? , is a disciple of the Paul Chambers school of jazz bass playing which features a style of walking harmonically inventive bass lines in a robust manner by positioning strings relatively high from the fingerboard- a practice mostly abandoned by modern bass players because of its physical difficulty. In addition to Roney, Seay has recorded and/or toured domestically and internationally with several renown jazz artists and groups including Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers , Wynton Marsalis, Billy Harper, Chico Freeman, Lou Donaldson and the Smithsonian Jazz Works Orchestra. Seay attended Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington, DC, with Wallace Roney and Gregory Charles Royal in the 1970?s and attended Howard University with them and pianist Geri Allen in the 1980?s. Seay was an Adjunct Professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond for over 10 years in the 1980?s and 90?s. Clarence was commissioned by the United States Post Office to compose and perform on their Album Commemorating America?s Celebration of Jazz.
