Hi, I’m Will Chernoff! I’m a Canadian electric bassist from New Westminster, British Columbia, playing my original instrumental music as part of the Vancouver music scene.

I've been fortunate to play for the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Frankie's Jazz Club, Infidels Jazz, Tyrant Studios, and several more venues or presenters in recent years.

My latest music release is called Queen's Park. In addition to some other, older digital-only releases, I have two albums on CD: Maybe Eventually and Aim to Stay.

Currently, I stick to the electric bass, but upright bass has been a part of my playing career too.

A bit about my background

I started a website in the jazz scene called Rhythm Changes. I publish a list of all the jazz shows in Vancouver every month there. This is probably what I'm best known for at the moment.
I release my recordings under the Chernoff Music label. Chernoff Music is also my own business. Through it, I do services for record labels, live music companies, and non-profit arts organizations in the U.S. and Canada.

It’s great to have you here!
