Bridging the Gap®

Bridging the Gap® Bridging the Gap® is the highly acclaimed string duo featuring violinist Peter Wilson and double bassist Aaron Clay. Hailed by The Washington Post for “superior arrangements and uncommon musicianship,” Bridging the Gap® offers a new voice to old and new music by uniting the sounds of two bridged instruments not typically heard together. This unlikely duo performs music of the classical tradition while also programming jazz, big band, folk, film music, popular song, and even funk. Peter Wilson is a multifaceted performer whose violin solos have been hailed as “first-class” by The Washington Post. Aaron Clay is a uniquely versatile double bassist, commanding great respect in both the classical and jazz worlds of bass playing, but it was The Washington Post that observed, “What sets [Clay] apart is elegant bowing… His melodic lines have a cello-like glow and flexibility…” Wilson and Clay founded Bridging the Gap® in the fall of 1997 after developing a friendship as members of “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band.
