Bassist and composer Ryan Enderle is fluent in nearly every genre of music. Throughout his early years exploring various styles of music, from progressive metal and classical to punk rock and hip hop, Enderle’s deep love for jazz has come to the foreground. Enderle has been described as “a mindful bassist who solos lyrically.” This, combined with his strong rhythmic approach, has earned him the reputation of being a valuable asset to any musical organization.
Enderle has become a popular figure in the Detroit jazz scene over the past several years. He has shared the stage with many internationally recognized jazz artists, including saxophonist Branford Marsalis, vocalist Kurt Elling, and drummer Paul Wertico. Enderle has also made special appearances with renowned Detroit jazz artists Barbara Ware, Marcus Belgrave, and George Benson.
Some of the highlights of Enderle’s jazz career to date have been his performances at the Sydney Music Festival, Glebe festival of the Arts, Detroit International Jazz Festival, Michigan Jazz Festival, Detroit Festival of the Arts, and The Great Hawaii Jazz Blowout. Enderle recently performed live on 101.9 FM WDET’s “Destination Jazz, The Ed Love Program”, as well as on The Mitch Albom Show, the Fox2 Morning Show, and PBS’s “The Cutting Room Floor”.
Triosphere, the debut album by the Ryan Enderle Trio, explores Enderle’s favorite idiom, but with a twist. The original compositions on Triosphere are influenced not only by the rich heritage of jazz, but also by the various musical styles that Enderle has been exposed to throughout his career. This innovative collaboration with pianist Mike Jellick and drummer Nate Winn is a new contribution to jazz, yet it is firmly rooted in the Detroit jazz tradition.
My pops heard you on the Mitch Album show. We were in town shortly last week attending the Kronk Gym Foundation fundraiser. Philip is on the board of directors there. He was supposed to sing "Happy Birthday" to Aretha Franklin, alas she did not show... The Ryan Enderle Trio is smokin'!
With your silky smooth rhyming abilities (e.g. "-ate", "ait") you could be the next big thing in hip-hop. You better go for it. Don't let me down Lil' Ry. (Yes, that is your new un-original hip-hop name that I created for you.) Embrace it! Lol...
Hi Ryan! Congratulations on the release of your new CD! Sorry I can't make the CD release party, as I am now living in Arizona. Best of Luck to you! Peace & Love, Sandi V.
Can't wait to play with you @ the BKL hit on March 20th... make sure you put it on your schedule!!! The tracks sound great. Who's the bassist on the cd again? Lol. Lemme know about upcoming hits, man. (Chi-town isn't THAT far away...) Give my best to Jessica as well. -M
