Well, bassist Matt Ulery has received plenty of mention on Bird is the Worm, revolving primarily around his 2012 release By a Little Light, which was this site’s #4 album of they year.
Here’s a video of Ulery performing “To Lose Your Mind” from that album, live at Chicago’s Millennium Park. If you’ve never been there, go, whether it’s to hear music or just wander around. I remember grumbling about it when they started building the various structures and installation art in the Grant Park area. And while I do miss that it’s less “park” than it used to be, the city did a great job with what they built in that space. The Pritzker Pavilion, where this performance is held, is an especially nifty feature of the park revamp, and seeing live music performed there is a real treat.
Your video personnel: Matt Ulery (double bass), Rob Clearfield (piano), Michael Caskey (drums), James Davis (trumpet), Tim Munro (flute), Katinka Kleijn (cello), Nicholas Photinos (cello), Yvonne Lam (violin & viola), Zach Brock (violin), Michael Maccaferri (clarinet), Geoff Bradfield (bass clarinet), and Matthew Duval (marimba & vibraphone).

I’ve written negative reviews of three musicians on this site. They were as follows: Bill Frisell, Bobby Hutcherson, and Matt Ulery. Frisell and Hutcherson are jazz giants, and responsible for landmark recordings, and over the course of their careers have been instrumental in the advancement of jazz. I ripped…
Quite simply, In the Ivory is a beautiful album. It's not terribly surprising that this is bassist and composer Matt Ulery's latest creation. Taking his recordings one step at a time, following each new album as a subsequent stage is his transformation, it doesn't come as a shock that…
