Members Of Band

I'm in contact with a piano man and am looking for a bass player (a drummers best friend!) as a first priority. Tenor sax, trombone and trumpet would be great - as would a jazz playing guitar person. Or a big rehearsal band looking for a drummer (regular or sub)

EQUIPMENT

Have a Yamaha gig set and can move about the Reno area. Also have a 4 car garage with lots of electric outlets so we could play here (once the temperature rises to a comfort level).
