Gregg Belisle-Chi

Gregg Belisle-Chi (池敏超) is an Chinese-American guitarist and composer living in Brooklyn, New York, who over the past decade has been “busily establishing himself as an important and distinctive new voice in the contemporary guitar world” and “has emerged as one of the most creatively dexterous musicians.” (Earshot Jazz) Described by the New York Times as “a subtle stunner,” his sideman playing has traversed paths between the Jazz and Improvised Music scenes of New York City to the realms of Rock, Pop, and Electronic Music. His own compositions and projects prioritize “beauty both in concept and execution, making us luxuriate in its immersive sonorities.” (Part-Time Audiophile) Within a career of mercurial interests, he has performed with Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Nels Cline, Henry Threadgill, Reid Anderson, Stomu Takeshi, Hank Roberts, Chris Potter, Mat Maneri, Tom Rainey, Jim Black, Ches Smith, Nasheet Waits, Marc Ducret, Steve Swallow, Chris Lightcap, Trevor Dunn, Ralph Alessi, Cuong Vu, Emma Frank, and many more in the Jazz, Improvised, Rock, and Chamber music worlds.
