A native of Oakland, California and now a mainstay of the New York City jazz, Latin, and studio scene, bassist/composer/author/educator Lincoln Goines has distinguished himself as one of the premier bassists of his generation. As a sideman, his resume reads like a who's who of the pop, jazz and Latin world. From Carly Simon to Sonny Rollins to Paquito D'Rivera, Goines is the consummate musician who is adept in any musical environment. His versatility and fluid style has kept him in demand for over four decades.
