   About Eric Revis
"Eric Revis is one of today's true masters." .. Chris Hovan, All About Jazz.com Grammy-winning bassist/composer Eric Revis has been one of the most solid and forceful voices in the contemporary jazz scene for over 15 years. The deep-running power of his beat, his potent and gorgeous tone, and his dynamic approach to music keeps him in high demand among notable musicians such as Branford Marsalis and Jeff "Tain" Watts.

Born in Los Angeles, CA on May 31, 1967. Eric studied under Ellis Marsalis and Harold Battiste from 1991 to 1992 at The University Of New Orleans. Moved to NYC in 1993.Joined Betty Carter's band....Played with Mrs. Carter from '93-95 In 1997, joined The Branford Marsalis Quartet . Rafi Zabor, author of The Bear Comes Home says, "Eric Revis seems to me the finest rhythm partner yet to join him in a working Marsalis group: a terrific band bassist whose work evades casual notice, the lunging, deep-running power of his beat, acuity of accent, and his instinct for the right propulsive run of notes have given this band stronger legs to stand on, and an increased capacity for friendly earthquake. In 2004 released "Tales Of The Stuttering Mime" on his own 11:11 records.

Voted the Best Debut Disc in 2004.. - All About Jazz

..Eric stretches the jazz fabric without ripping it apart. The results are a greatly varied...thoroughly rewarding and entertaining set... - Jazz Times

..Mr. Revis ... along with the drummer Jeff Watts, gives that group its tight, smacking sound. His vision of jazz begins with a strong rhythm section, and he has used Mr. Watts as the drummer on his own first album. But he is also one of jazz's relativists, interested in importing other sounds and forms and rhythms, and to this end he uses a dozen extra guests outside of his group in his original music... - New York Times

..I've been waiting for this album, and my hunch is confirmed: Eric Revis is an exciting bandleader who can stomp on the bass without overshadowing his ensemble. Eric also goes beyond the expected sounds. Great sounds, and very promising writing!.. - David Adler, Downbeat

..Like (Jaco) Pastorius, he plants his flag neither in the past now present of music. Revis chooses to gather from his favorite music both jazz and non-jazz. Quite beautiful. .. - Marc Corroto, All About Jazz

..Revis has a huge sound, unshakable rhythmic confidence and a penchant for cohesive, logical basslines... - Ted Panken, Downbeat
