Alan-David + Musician in Brooksville, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

Funk/rock/electric jazz and R&B player who also loves:

DMB (as if anyone can play it...)
Pearl Jam (before they became John Cougar Mellencamp)
STP (Plush all day long)
RHCP (Tribute band, know the whole catalog)

Old soul and R&B where the feel and pocket matter as much as the discipline of restraint and occasional fill to add taste without too much spice.

Also love jazz and latin, especially combined like Song For Bilbao, Phase Dance, Blue Bossa...
