Muneer Nasser

Muneer Nasser is the author of Upright Bass: The Musical Life & Legacy of Jamil Nasser. As Jamil's

son, he experienced some of the history documented in the book. Moreover, he read over one hundred books, magazines, and conducted interviews with jazz masters whose answers piqued his interest in jazz history. “My father shared many compelling stories about his career.” Recently, Muneer put down the pen and picked up his trumpet to record "A Soldier's Story", a companion CD to the book. Muneer developed a lifelong commitment to the study of jazz from his early exposure to Jazz through his father.
