Bunny Brunel
Born in the South of France, Bunny Brunel's first instrument was the piano. His mother was a huge jazz fan and exposed him to jazz music at a young age. Early on he was able to play jazz chords by ear. Bunny attended the Classical Conservatory in Nice, France but is mostly a self-taught bass player. He has played all over the world with other famous musicians.
He has created and custom built the Rolls Royce of basses—the Bunny Brunel Electric Upright Bass (BBEUB). Bunny has composed music with lush arrangements on his releases from the start of his career on his first album "Touch" to his latest, titled "Invent Your Future"; and somewhere in the middle, his Band CAB earned a Grammy nomination for CAB 2 Best Contemporary Jazz Album. He also scores films, and collaborated and performed the theme for Clint Eastwood’s Oscar winning masterpiece The Unforgiven. But most importantly, Bunny is known around the world as one of the four great bassists who started the jazz-fusion bass movement.
