Harmonica, Vocals, Can play horn lines and octave chords, saxophone parts and horns. Looking for Blues Band or guitar player, or piano player for duet is ok too. Ideally, I’d like a guitar player who knows house to swing, an upright bass player and a Jazz/Blues Drummer. Want to hit it hard at low volume, let the drummer (small jazz combo kit) hit it as hard as he wants to with brushes and everyone else adjust their volume to that. Professionalism is a must, preferably no jeans, T-shirt’s or sneakers on the bandstand. Must understand the concept of dynamics. “If you can’t play good, then you play loud” is something I cannot get into.
