Jon Paul - bass

For the last 21+ years, Chicago-based bassist Jon Paul has handled the low end for popular Chicagoland area band Tributosaurus, faithfully reproducing some of the greatest music of our times. Every month Tributosaurus pays homage to a new artist, reproducing the original recordings as closely as possible, leaving Jon with over 1,000 transcriptions in his collection.

Jon can also be seen performing with lauded singer/songwriter Chris Pierce and the fantastic Chicago Soul Jazz Collective. His decade-plus association with renowned guitarist Fareed Haque resulted in many tours and acclaimed albums on the Blue Note label. He’s also toured and recorded with keyboardist Jesus “Chuchito” Valdes, including on the Grammy-nominated Keys of Latin Jazz (J&N/Sony).

Other performance credits include Danilo Perez, Tom Morello, Jimmy Chamberlain, Big Star, Nicholas Tremulis, The Bad Examples, Tony Furtado, Bryan Lubeck, Frank Catolano & Fred Simon – just to name a few. Jon is always excited to join his friends at Jeans ‘n Classics!
