Jazz Bassist looking for Real Book practice partner/s

New York City NY

Description

I'm a bass guitarist and have been playing for about 30 years. I've done a lot of jazz ensembles, jams, some gigs, and have solid chops, albeit a bit rusty due to lack of playing for the past year and a half. I'd place myself at an advanced but not professional level of playing. You should be about the same. I'm happy to play with pros, by the way, and have. I can lay down lines with charts, and read down changes on the spot. I'm not a strong sight reader so that's my weakness... but then again, I'm a bassist so most jazz Real Book stuff doesn't require a bass player reading heads. I'd like to find someone near me -- I'm near Columbia University/ Morningside Church -- to just get together for casual jams. Must be fully vaccinated as it would indoor. Now seems like to a good time to shake off rust.
