JAYLA CHEE - Bass

Jayla Chee is a New York based bass player and composer originally from the Bay Area in California.

While earning her bachelor’s degree at the Juilliard school Jayla was mentored by Gerald Cannon. Since then she has also studied privately with Rufus Reid.

Jayla has performed with Joshua Redman, Billy Drummond, John Faddis, Kandace Springs, Darren Criss, Wynton Marsalis, among many others. On top of her major musical influences, like Herbie Hancock and Elis Regina, Jayla derives immense inspiration from Nature. Her passion for natural gardening, hiking, and studying plants and forests is apparent in her art and personality.

Originally a trumpet player, Jayla took up the bass in high school and soon started performing around at venues around the bay, notably as the house bass player at the old Cafe Stritch session. She also was in bands such as the Carnegie Hall NYO jazz band, and Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation jazz orchestra.

Now in New York, Jayla maintains a busy performance schedule with regular appearances at venues throughout the city such as Smalls, Birdland, and Dizzy’s.
