SEEKING
Band to Join, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Harmonica, Upright bass.ABOUT
Been playing in this area since the sixties. Love playing with a big band but my true love is jazz trio...old school with piano and bass...naturally I play the drums. Grew up listening to Oscar Peterson, Horace Silver, Cannonball and the likes of all that wonderful groove producing jazz. I still play with a blues band but am really interested in forming a good old fashioned jazz trio.
Learned most of my love for jazz while at Pleasant Hill High School with Bob Soder. Went on the road when I was a kid playing in a big band for Chrysler Corp and then came home playing in the area for the next many many years with groups all over the bay area.
