SEEKING
Trumpet, Saxophone, Upright bass.ABOUT
Keyboardist:
1. Currently seeking to play regularly with other jazz, R&B musicians. Seeking an upright bass/electric bass player to jam and learn tunes with the objective of forming a jazz rhythm section (gigs available).
2. looking to play with passionate musicians. I have over 40 years experience singing semi professionally and jazz and classical piano. Play classical piano initially then fell in love with jazz and improvisational playing. Recently I've jumped deeper into keyboard and becoming a better keyboard player. 20 years piano and keyboard experience (classical, jazz, rock covers)....would love to play with jazz, RB, progressive Rock musicians to play extraordinary music and make me better...that's how I've grown exponentially all throughout my music journey.
I practice at least 2-4 hours per day (2 hours shedding on chords, theory and technique and then 2-3 hours combination 'recess' playing along with recordings/transcribing to learn solos and advanced chord progressions and musical language. Also recently started playing in public open jam sessions to learn how to play music I've never seen, listen deeply and become a better musician.
I absolutely LOVE being a musician (I'm a business lawyer in my 'day job.')
Looking to join with passionate musicians who LOVE to play, , jazz, R&B, Funk,progressive rock, original music.. accompanying singers...anyone serious about expressing themselves musically and musicians willing to work every day at getting better. PLEASE NO DRAMA, NO DRUGS NO NONSENSE.
