SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
My favorite type of music is latin jazz: brazillian, afro-cuban, etc. (samba, bossa nova, mambo). I have played a lot of big band/swing as well as horns for funk.
I really would like to get in with a band that plays/rehearses weekly. I am also interested in jam sessions. I play by ear and read, and am always willing to try new music.
