ABOUT

Hi,

My name is Bill. I live in Midtown. New to K.C. and searching for a bass player to round out a guitar and drum trio. Track 4: "sick lip" above will give you an idea. Thank you

I have a BA in Jazz Performance, Webster U. Indian classical training under Ustad Imrat Khan and the wisdom of many other reputable teachers. Hustled my share of gigs, taught in conservatory, recorded, toured, etc... Glitterhouse Records, Germany, Fire Records, UK and Undertow Records, St. Louis, random corporate sessions, dance accompaniment, Indian music recitals, jazz trios etc...

Looking for anything creative. Originals are preferred. Bebop, progressive rock, blues, R&B, experimental, primal screaming...whatever you like. I have an interest in Indian classical music as well and have some tabla ability.

I don't have a space but I willing to set up somewhere hopefully not too far from midtown if possible.
