I'm a bassist with experience in recording, performing and writing music/lyrics. I'm seeking experienced,commited musicians with the aim of live performance. To me commited means showing up for scheduled practices prepared, that is, with the agreed upon songs learned on your own time and ready for final arrangement. I mentored in theory and improvisational playing with James Cammack.
