Seeking Jazz Musicians

Melbourne FL

Description

Experienced drummer, north of fifty years in age, seeks like minded musicians for the enjoyment of playing jazz/blues standards from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80s. Music selections mainly from The Real Books. My interests are in music from the be-bop style to fusion. Looking for piano, bass, and tenor sax as a core foundation but other instruments are welcome. Presently, sessions will be in my garage during the afternoon but will eventually move to my community clubhouse or another welcoming location. Some of my favorite band leaders/bands are Herbie Hancock, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, Ramsey Lewis, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, George Duke, Dave Grusin, Stan Kenton, Spiro Gyra, Return To Forever, Canonball Adderly, John Handy, etc...
