Introduction

I love helping people develop the tools they need to play the music they love. In doing this, they can discover their voice, their style, and communicate their ideas with ease and confidence. I always enjoy seeing people make progress in their playing, technically and musically. I have over a decade of performing and recording experience for both bass guitar and upright bass. I am dedicated to help each individual/group/band accomplish their musical goals. Whether it is preparing for serious auditions or starting a band for fun, I will help you. I teach and perform all styles including: jazz, classical, rock, pop, funk, blues, musicals, Latin jazz, and Latin pop. Education: Northwestern University - BM DePaul University - MM

Hired on Thumbtack

Nick was the best! We had a cocktail party at our house and his 2 group band was just what we needed, playing smooth jazz and setting a wonderful mood for the party. Punctual, professional, friendly, and an excellent musician too. I'll be rehiring in the future.

Details: Cocktail hour • 26 - 50 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Party host • Strings • No preference • Jazz / Blues • Home • Indoors • No, professional will need to provide their own sound equipment • $$$ (premium) • Need some more information before hiring

Nick West is THE best. He’s the creme de la creme...the cats pajamas, the bees knees and the real McCoy. For recording studio sessions he’s a One-Take-Jake with any style of music and he has a bottomless reserve of creative ideas. Onstage, in concert, he’s not only rock steady musically but his love for the music always shines through. Our fans always tell me what a great time it looks like he’s having while he’s playing. Plus he’s the consummate professional: easy going, great sense of humor, always shows up early for rehearsals and shows and is the kind of guy you would hang out with more if he wasn’t so dang busy! West is the best. Get him while you still can.
