Jeff Plant on SoundBetter

Fretless and fretted expertise - Played with Wynonna Judd, Norah Jones, Oz Noy, Mark Lettieri, Andy Timmons, Nachito Herrera, Kirk Whalum, Monte Montgomery, The Dallas Symphony, and much more! With years of experience both in sessions as well as touring across the globe, Jeff is ready to add groove and spark to your project.

I am ready and excited to work on your project! I've been a seasoned session player for years. I play both fretless and fretted bass. I can add ideas and groove to your project, whether it's a funky fingerstyle groove, slap, or just laying it down. I can also add any solo or melody aspects to your project. I've been the music director for several jazz groups, country groups, rock groups, gospel groups, fusion groups, electronica, and singer-songwriters.
I love to also come up with new ideas and give you options until you are satisfied and love it!

    Simply said, Jeff is a GENIUS. We asked Jeff to gives us a very viable commercial bass sound for our new song and then asked him to play whatever HE felt so we could hear what his insight and expertise brought to the table and we were flawed !!!!!!...stunned !!!! by the sheer beauty and thoughtfulness of how we was able to weave such a unique sound to an otherwise somber song. We will use him on many of our songs moving forward. Thanks Jeff !!!!!!

    I compose and perform some very difficult music, especially for a bassist. Jeff has shown thruout the years that not only does he have the technique, execution and musicality to play anything I write, he makes it sound easy...like HE wrote it! He's truly one of the most superb bassists I've ever worked with, and I've worked with some of the best!

    On top of his masterful technical ability and good taste, Jeff Plant is a living music encyclopedia. His knowledge of music in different styles, including World
    music/Latin/Flamenco as well as mainstream pop/rock/jazz etc makes him a unique player. Wether you have written parts or need a session player to create them, you'll be lucky to have him on your project.

    My experience working with Jeff has been receiving the most masterful, meticulously performed and well recorded tracks in an amazingly short amount of time - every single time. He is a phenom! On top of all that, another reviewer's comment about him being a sweetheart is spot on.

    I’ve played with Jeff on multiple occasions, and have known him for over 20 years. Not only is he a masterful musician, but he’s also an authentically good soul who’s SO MUCH fun to work with on any project. He's highly revered and recommended!

    Jeff is a rare find. He possesses all the technique, and even more sensitivity, enabling him to convey emotion in whatever genre is thrown at him. Mr Plant is a unicorn.

    I’ve had the pleasure to play and record with Jeff Plant on many occasions and I’m always impressed not only with his endless talent but also his professionalism. I highly recommend him for any and all productions regardless of style or genre. He instinctively knows how to play what’s best for a track whether it’s a supporting or lead role.

    The greatest bass player I have ever worked with technically masterful and wildly creative. Can play any style, and always delivers more than you were hoping for. I hope to work with him again for years to come. Hire this man.

    Jeff is one of the finest musicians I know, and it is always a great pleasure to work with him. From original songs to high profile corporate and commercial compositions, Jeff has elevated my music and productions each and every time I've called on him to contribute. He can do it all. Not only is he a master of his instrument and a master musician in general, he is wonderful guy to boot. He will find the unique "pocket" for your project, no matter what the genre. Call Jeff. You'll be glad you did!

    One of the finest, most attentive-to-detail and virtuosic bass players anywhere. Every project that Jeff has been a part of has had 100% of his care and dedication. He is also hilarious.

    In addition to Jeff being a full-time band member of my group in Dallas/Fort Worth, Jeff has also recorded on two projects for me (2019 and 2023) and is a consummate professional in the studio situation and his all-around skills come to the table. His time feel, working attitude, pro gear, sound, reading ability and improvisational skills make him a great choice for any studio project.

    Jeff Plant is phenomenal. He has played bass on many of my recordings, and his skills are unparalleled. It’s actually pretty astounding / jaw-dropping what he can do on his instrument. His knowledge and understanding of music theory and the bass’s function within a song is so solid. He can do amazing acrobatics on his bass, but he also knows precisely when the bass needs to be more subtle and minimal. And he nails it every time. I could not give a more wholehearted recommendation than Jeff Plant, and I refer him to my peers often.

    Jeff is amazing. The best! Send him charts and then forget about it. He will nail it perfectly. Don’t have charts? Send him the recording and forget about it. He will nail it perfectly. And he’s a sweetheart too!
