Jazz Piano/Organist looking for Jam Partners

Chicago IL

Description

Hi - I play keys, mainly jazz standards from swing/bop to post-bop styles. Anything in the Real Book 5th Ed. is great to play in my opinion. I'd seen another ad here a couple of months ago where someone was looking for jazz "sparring partners" and although I didn't invent that phrase, it does describe my intentions pretty well. My hope is to learn a couple of new things from people I haven't played with before, and hopefully return the favor through one or more very low-key and informal sessions, your space or mine. Would like to stay within Chicago northside, or near-north/near-west suburbs. Welcoming any and all solid intermediate to advanced jazz musicians, especially vocals, guitar, horn/sax, and upright. Looking for people who already know the real books and have played a lot from them, no jazz newbies please. Not necessarily looking to form a new project at this time, as I am already in a group. However I'd be willing to consider a new project if there's really good musical chemistry. Thanks for looking, Tom
