ABOUT

I have played the drums for over 50 years.From heavy rock bands to disco bands to jazz groups. I am a retired educator that also played in wedding bands, clubs, outdoor concerts etc. I am looking to play with some "quality" musicians who are dedicated to playing jazz. Whether classic or current as long as you posses a desire to make a quality sound. Not looking for a full time gig but a few quality gigs here and there. CHECK OUT THE VIDEO. The app I used to record comes out lousy and muffled but if I added any backing track music it would come out worse. Looking for a good keyboard guy and female vocalist to get started. Have auditioned a few but they didn’t meet my standards.

I also play acoustic guitar and have played at senior centers, nursing homes and children's hospitals but am not at the level of a quality jazz guitarist.
