Falmouth MA

Description

Drummer and keyboard/piano player are looking for a bass player to complete a trio. Music style is Bluesy Jazz. Range of songs are:standard blues of - Robert Johnson, Taj Mahal, Eric Claptan, T-bone Walker, Pinetop Perkins, Dr. John, Bob Dylan, Mississippi John Hurt, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, etc. Instrumentals songs of : Jimmy Smith, Booker T and the MGs, Thelonius Monk, Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Ramsey Lewis, and others. Depending on the venue/situation we could just do instrumental takes on blues songs, or keep the vocals as the dominant feature, or both. I am the keyboard player predominately utilizing : Piano, Hammond Organ, clavinet and electric piano sounds from my 2 keyboards. The right person should be able to learn most of the tunes on their own, with help from my chord charts and notes, and by listening to recorded tunes to understand the feel. I am hoping not to need more than 3 or 4 rehearsals. We are looking to play gigs about 4 times a month.
