Band consists of jazz violinist and mandolin.
We are looking for a jazz guitarist who loves the standards or Brazilian choro. Or a versatile pianist capable and interested in improv. We're not a professional duo (we have 'real' day jobs), but love this music and want to improve at it. Would like to do more open mics, retirement homes, weddings etc. More information about our ensemble can be found at by googling myspace for "Swingsetpa".

Influences:

Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Duke Ellington, Billie Holliday, Aretha Franklin, Vernon Duke, Irving Berlin, Jobim, Jacob do Bandolim, Stephane Grapelli, Bucky Pizarelli,

Equipment List:

I play a 5-string violin (or a 4-string JRCarlisle). ( I also play a new Chinese mandolin.) My mandolinist plays a Collings.

Members Of Band:
