I'm a keyboard player looking for a drummer to jam with. I'm looking for someone who is well versed in Jazz, Hip-Hop, Neo Soul, and skilled at improvising. I'd love to find someone who feels as comfortable doin it for Dilla as they do swinging like Elvin (of course with considerations taken for the fact we don't possess the godlike powers of those greats). Someone who is into: Spiritual Jazz (Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane), Post Bop/Soul Jazz (Kenny Burrell, Art Blakey), would be able to hang with the fact that I'm equally big on Bill Evans and Thelonious Monk, who digs Pete Rock, Tribe, Gang Starr, Kendrick Lamar (especially TPAB), Mos Def, Talib Kweli, MF Doom, Cordae, Anderson .PAAK, and it would probably be best if I didn't have to explain who we are talking about when I mention the Soulquarians. Have you watched the original T-Pain tiny desk a million times? I have! Theres a lot of great music in this kind of lane of being equally literate at jazz and hip-hop coming out of the UK right now, and since I don't live there, I want to try to create some here.
I have another cool project so you can hear how I play https://thebusinessofpleasure.bandcamp.com/. No real expectations or aspirations with this but gigs would be cool and I know some spots I can call around to. I have good gear and transportation; I can host or come to you. I know a great bassist who is in Korea until the summer, and I can also do left hand bass. I'm a 41 year old dad who works full time. I don't do drugs or get drunk and I don't want to spend my precious free time with anyone who brings drama or MAGA bullshit.
