Looking for Keyboardist for Acid Jazz Funk/UK Jazz band

Sacramento CA

Description

I'm a Sacramento bassist (33 year old male) seeking a keyboard player to start a group where we could hopefully work on some original ideas and maybe even do covers. I'm looking to create music in the same vein as BBNG, Jamiroquai, Kamaal Williams, Yussef Kamaal, Vels Trio, Tom Misch, Joe-Armon Jones, Herbie Hancock (headhunters)etc. So far we have a drummer, bassist (me), guitarist and saxophonist. The missing crucial element is the keys. Keys would be the highlight of most of the songs and provide melodies and solos throughout most songs. Keyboardist would have to be well versed in jazz but also humble enough to play with more intermediate players such as myself :) I'm definitely not the most technical player but am comfortable with laying down a groove and solid bass lines which is fine for the music I want to play. I have a rehearsal space that we could use to practice. Ideally I'd like to meet up once a week or twice a month. Check out the spotify playlist to get an idea of the sounds i'm going for and if they interest you. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/09XgwKGQdXFLFSL589ObGL?si=09218791fe7242df
