| Description |
Versatile, creative bass player, generally in a jazz style looking for a small or large ensemble of talented musicians who are somewhere in, or near the edge of, jazz. Especially interested in bigband, crossover and fusion sounds, but sometimes play rock and pop.
At home on both bass guitar and electric upright bass (also double bass, but don't currently own one). Reasonable sight reading, and solid knowledge of theory. Used to doing gigs.
My internet handle is Spaceman Nor Bear. |
