WANTED: Guitarist & Drummer — Jazz/Jump Blues Combo (Upright Bass Fron
QR Code Link to This Post
Not two genres bolted together, but the sound you get when you remember swing, rockabilly, blues, and jazz are family (pissed off and arguing about who’s right, sure. But still family.)
Bass/Vocals (me): Upright bass, 25 years playing, singing while slapping, a rare thing these days. Still sharpening my jazz chops, which is exactly why I need musicians who can pull this in that direction with me.
Drummer wanted: Real jazz-brush sensibility who can also lock into that core swing/rockabilly backbeat. Gotta swing and meet that slap rhythm.
Guitarist wanted: A true hybrid player: twang and rhythm chops, with the harmonic vocabulary and soloing sensibility of a jazz player. Comps like a jazz cat, bites like a rockabilly picker.
Jazz standards side: Fever, Come Fly With Me, L-O-V-E, My Kind of Girl, When I Fall in Love, Memories Are Made of This.
Rockabilly/rock side: Secret Agent Man, Memphis, Black Magic Woman, Lay Down Sally, Little Sister, Folsom Prison, several Hank Williams tunes, plus originals.
Serious, capable players. Let’s build something with real teeth. Email Bob. Let’s jam!
