ABOUT

XEnsemble is a 7 piece "fusion" concert band in the Mid Cape area performing all-original compositions featuring jazz, rock, blues, classical and world music influences. In almost continuous operation since the 1980s, many fine local players have participated in the band.

We're looking for a knowledgeable and experienced bassist with solid meter, creative, reliable, personable, a team player and able to take direction. Our arrangements are quite specific and will require memorization. Monster jazz chops are not necessarily required but we do have some pieces with odd grooves and time signatures.
