As someone who has had a myriad of opportunities to shine, Kyle Eastwood has truly carved his own path as a musician (yes, he’s Clint’s son). Having dabbled on electric bass as a teenager, he now also plays the upright, acoustic and double bass. Kyle’s second album “Paris Blue” resonates with swing, groove, and funk overtones. Kyle says, “My roots remain in jazz but I like adding all kinds of different flavors.” The album climbed to #1 on the French Jazz charts. Kyle has composed music for the Academy Award winning films, “Mystic River” and “Million Dollar Baby.”
