    Vicente Archer

    Profile

    Vicente Archer is a bassist, guitarist, composer and producer hailing from the culturally-rich Woodstock, New York. Having absorbed much of the historical town’s arts culture, this has made his work diverse ranging from folk to jazz to hip-hop. He attended New England Conservatory of Music and Northeastern University in Boston, where he earned a degree in business. While in college, he picked up the double bass with swiftness. Within 8 months, he was asked by great alto saxophonist, Donald Harrison, to join his group. Archer's first recording appearance is on Harrison’s Impulse recording “Free to Be”. Soon after he began recording/performing with a long list of luminaries including Pat Metheny, Norah Jones, Common, H.E.R., Terence Blanchard, Mary J Blige, Al Foster, Brad Mehldau, Wynton Marsalis, Amos Lee, Kenny Garrett, Willie Nelson, Peter Bernstein and many more. Today, he’s as prolific as ever and has been hailed as one of the most sought bassist of his generation appearing on over 150 records. Currently he is touring with Grammy award winning artists: Robert Glasper, Nicholas Payton and John Scofield.
