For starters, I'm open to any ideas anyone wants to throw out there.

After having played for years in ear-splittingly loud blues bands, I'm ready for something a little quieter. Maybe having a percussionist who played djembe or congas instead of a full drum set with cymbals might do a lot to bringing the volume down (and could make it easier to play smaller clubs, restaurants and coffee houses).

I haven't seen a lot of groups out there who do instrumental soul jazz, and maybe tenor sax might add a unique sound to an acoustic pop singer's act.

To contact me, my yahoo user name is gschultz63.

Influences:

60's r&b, soul jazz, Van Morrison, Springsteen. I also like a lot of female folk/pop singers.

tenor sax players: Kirk Whalum, King Curtis, Junior Walker, Clarence Clemons, Lenny PIckett, Wilton Felder, Rusty Bryant, etc.

Here is a YouTube video of what I mean by "soul jazz":
