Clipper Anderson is one of the Northwest's leading Bassists. Playing all styles on acoustic and electric bass, Clipper is a composer, studio musician, vocalist, and educator. He was described in Seattle's premier jazz magazine Earshot as being "...a player for the connoisseur to savor" and most recently made the cover interview in the December 2008 issue of Jazz Profile Magazine.
