Walter Stinson

Bassist Composer and Educator Walter Stinson has been performing and living in Brooklyn since 2012 after graduating from Purchase College. He began his music studies at the age of 10 by playing along with the classic country radio station and his mother who was a jazz pianist. Growing up in Ithaca, NY he was incredibly fortunate to study with a couple unsung heroes of the NYC Jazz scene, namely bassist Bernie Upson and drummer George Reed. He has also had the privilege of studying with a number of contemporary greats including John Clayton, Nicholas Walker, Doug Weiss, Kermit Driscoll, Scott Colley, Larry Grenadier, William Parker and Stephan Crump. He performs regularly with Kevin Sun, Adam O'Farrill, Dierk Peters and Onyx Collective as well as many other brilliant artists.
