Rick Suchow: Home
bass & pen...
Thanks for stopping by! I'm a bassist & writer in NYC.
My playing credits include the White House, Lincoln Center and many notable venues. I've had the opportunity to perform for some of the biggest names of our time.
My writing credits include songs for a Beatle and a best-selling jazz book, several Billboard chart hits, and numerous published articles (some of which are reprinted on this site).
I'm honored to be a Grammy-voting member of The Recording Academy ®.
While you're here, feel free to visit and subscribe to my music video channel Suchow TV and watch some rare bass clips and more.
