Songwriter seeks collab for New Orleans style project

Santa Monica CA

Description

Easy going male songwriter. 40s. Santa Monica. Looking to build a jazz and blues ensemble with a New Orleans vibe from the ground up. Currently imagining Allman Brothers meets Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Or a modern rebuild of the Mad Dogs and Englishman group w/ Joe Cocker and Leon Russell from 1970. Would love the opportunity incorporate hip/hop as well. Something ala Arrested Development / Digable Planets given the right MC(s) & vibe. Seeking: Guitar, Bass, Piano, Organ, Drums, Perc Trumpet, Bone, Alto Sax / Clarinet, Bari Sax (I've got a Tuba player we can bring on board) Vocalists (to share lead and backing vox) I can cover one of the guitars or keys parts depending on the arrangements. I've got charts we can play to start but hoping collaborators would write for the group as well. Would love to connect with solo folks or pre-established groups looking to expand their sound / repertoire. Idea would be a few rehearsals, play a few shows and hopefully put out a record. Here's a few demos of tunes / style I bring to the table. Me on guitar & bass. Please forgive the MIDI brass, and vocals as barked into my iPhone. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1aKYXJ8qFwqLnCRUkOZ55QDHOEtouE-SD&authuser=admin%40velvetgreenmusic.com&usp=drive_fs https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_7Z1Svf7omtwmY1WiH3e1eUVS3MAIO-8&authuser=admin%40velvetgreenmusic.com&usp=drive_fs https://drive.google.com/open?id=1c6G_LmsnSqAve4USPUq2Fo_La0dYBACj&authuser=admin%40velvetgreenmusic.com&usp=drive_fs What you can expect from me: No drama. I will always show respect and listen. I will always respond to kindness. I will offer a friendly and open attitude. I'm a husband, parent and LGBTQ+ ally. Much respect
