Tim Paul Weiner

I'm a freelance bassist, songwriter and composer on the east coast. I am a Fodera and Epifani artist and a Berklee College of Music Film Scoring graduate and have a Masters degree from the Longy School of Music. I've studied jazz bass with John Lockwood, classical bass with Pascale Delache-Feldman, free music with Joe Morris, and improvisation with Peter Cassino.

The first release by my group, Evoke Ensemble, “Groove for Peace”, is a collection of my original music and is an eclectic, bass-driven musical hybrid steeped in groove and improvisation, inspired by jazz, influenced by film, with flavors running the full musical spectrum from world music to classical and beyond.

Bass Frontiers Magazine called it “a much needed and very cool release!”
