ABOUT
Experienced, older guitarist, founder of the Blue Jazz Trio (not currently active). Also founder and former guitarist of Jazzee, a guitar and vocal duo (no longer active).
Not actively looking for playing situations, but might consider forming or joining something jazz/blues oriented, maybe guitar and vocal duo, guitar and upright bass duo, trio with upright bass and drums or quartet with piano might also be possibilities. I also really love a lot of ballads, but definitely not interested in doing GB.. Pro and advanced level only. Thanks. fdb 1014 at g mail dot com
