ABOUT
I'm classical and Jazz trained sax player who switched to bass. Went to music school and all that so the theory is there but a tad rusty. I have an excellent sense of time, rhythm and groove. I can handle some Primus, Elvis Costello, Rush, Journey and Stevie Wonder covers if that gives you a taste of my skill level.
Currently I am the bassist for Jiffy. Check out some of older recordings at ://.thisisjiffy/Site/music.html
Some of the stuff is the same but most of it rocks and grooves lot harder now. We just recorded a new EP in March and have started gigging again.
