Native of Santa Cruz, CA., Larry Antonino is one of the most innovative bass guitarists on the contemporary jazz scene today. His distinctively fresh, new sound has been described as exciting and just plain old funky. Now
based in the musical breeding grounds of Southern California, Larrys
contribution to the Los Angeles music scene includes live performances
and recordings with jazz veterans such as
Ronnie Laws, The Jazz Crusaders, Jeff Beck, Bobby Caldwell, and
Al Jarreau. The new breed
of contemporary jazz artists has recognized Larrys talents also. For example, Freddy Ravel, Steve Oliver, Rob Mullins, and
Jeff Kashiwa enlist his services for recordings and live performances. Larry
is an accomplished composer as well, with an array of writing styles.
Besides writing and co-writing all of the songs on, Village
Strut, he has composed for groups such as Air Supply to smooth jazz
artists Ronnie Laws and Jeff Tyzik. Brief
