SEEKING
Band to Join, Upright bass, Keyboard, Saxophone, Trumpet, Bass Guitar, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar.ABOUT
Looking to put together a group that plays out, a few times a month, fairly local. Musicians interested in an eclectic, experimental mix of music, mainly jazz rooted, but also fused with other styles like hip hop, soul, R&B, funk, ska, breakbeat, etc. It can be loose and improv, or more structured (or a mix). I also have a classic rock side too.
