SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard.ABOUT
Electric Bassist focused on making groove/swing happen. Melodic approach to playing, but not too busy. Can solo if called upon on my 6 six bass. Love to play, sing, and do both at the same time. Can cover, create original lines, improvise, read sheet music, chord charts, lead sheet/fake books or "play by ear" if required. Can sing lead or background vocals with emphasis in the American songbook/ standards. I love bringing original ideas to other people's music, and making the magic happen.
