Sean Clapis's band "Bad Idea"
Guitarist/composer Sean Clapis has recently made his biggest statement yet with the release of The Unseen River.
Best known by some for his work with the popular revivalist jazz
ensemble Carte Blanche, he is also making a mark in New York and beyond
in the realm of modern jazz.
Born
and bred in Hartford, CT, Sean trained at the Artist’s Collective,
founded by Jackie McLean, and at the storied Greater Hartford Academy of
the Arts, getting the opportunity along the way to perform at the
“National Festival da Juventude” on the African island nation of Cape
Verde. Upon receiving a generous scholarship from the Hartford Jazz
Society in 2005, Sean earned his Bachelor’s in Music at the Hartt School
of Music at the University of Hartford, training with notable masters
such as Rene McLean, Randy Johnston, Rich Goldstein, Steve Davis, Andy
LaVerne, Joe Diorio and many others.
Moving
to Brooklyn in 2011, Clapis began his relationship with Carte Blanche
and forged many other new relationships in the jazz world. He has also
performed with the Spanish rock group “Tulsa,” Alan Palmer’s progressive
jazz ensemble “New Soil Ship,” the swing band “Fleur Seule” and Scott
Bradlee’s “Postmodern Jukebox” among many others.
