Carol De Arment began playing piano at age 6, then switched to guitar as a teenager. While still in high school, she purchased her first jazz album, Charles Mingus' "Blues and Roots," which made her want to play the bass. A few years later, after moving to the Bay Area, she began studying jazz bass with Chris Amberger, Mel Graves, and Frank Tusa. Carol has worked as a jazz bassist in the Bay Area for 25 years, and has performed with pianist Debbie Poryes throughout her career. She is a former member of the San Francisco Mime Troupe band, has performed frequently with the local jazz ensemble "Triceratops", and also with Mark Levine, Andrea Haverback, Bishop Normal Williams, and Jimmy Robinson. She was recently heard here accompanying Jessica Williams.
