SEEKING
Vocalist, Acoustic Guitar, Drums, Violin, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Flute, Banjo, Mandolin, Cello, Clarinet, Harp.ABOUT
Many years experience and touring early on, started on guitar and currently focusing mostly on basses. I did folk, rock, funk, soul, wedding & church music, and since switching to bass, mostly jazz, including my own trio and quartet and numerous engagements with vocalists. Definitely eclectic/hybrid style and interests, but jazz is hopefully in the mix. My signature is really on fretless bass, although I also play upright, and am still well-versed in guitar. I do not sing much any more. My ideal chamber mix would involve multi-instruments, originals, mashups and re-worked covers in a jazz-influenced setting. I might also consider an existing group that did bluesy-jazzy Americana, or a jazz standards thing, if we did unique arrangements. I seek musicians with similar pro-experience, who have chops, and are ear-trained and can read music. Looking for something unique and hybrid.

EQUIPMENT
I am equipped with a small rig only these days, suitable for small venues. I use a Polytone amp for all my basses, including a '69 Fender Jazz and my 1800's Czech flatback string bass.
