ABOUT
Have been playing more than 40 years, started when I was 11, my style is original, a fusion of Jazz, Rock and Rhythm. Was in several NY bands that toured colleges in the state during the 70's. Attended sound engineering school at Echo Sound Studios on Long Island NY in the 70's. The last band I played with we did all original compositions, no covers. Looking to assemble a cast of characters, guitars (2), bass, keyboard and 3 piece horn section to do the same again with experienced musicians that have originality in their blood and an ear to match, want to sit down and work on original material, develop a unique sound. If interested in assembling this type of group contact me at jazdrum3 at geemail dot com
