Seeking Creative Musicians for Psych Jazzish Collaboration

Seattle WA

Description

Hi! I’m 44 and I play mainly guitar, some bass and a little percussion and keys. I’m seeking creative, fairly skilled musicians (especially drums, bass or keys) to collaborate on writing and recording some music inspired by psychedelic 60s-70s jazz, African jazz/rock and R&B. I’m hoping to find people who can listen closely, leave space when it fits, play softly as needed, and enjoy holding down a steady groove. I gravitate toward simple song forms and pretty melodies. I like to incorporate improvisation but I’m not looking to solo for soloing’s sake. I’m not looking to play (Real Book) jazz charts, fusion, smooth jazz, funk, or highly complex and/or experimental stuff. Let me know if any of this sounds interesting and you want to meet up to talk or jam, I’m in NE Seattle so hopefully you are fairly nearby. I can also send a playlist link with stuff I’ve been listening to lately and/or some rough sketches of the type of thing I have in mind. Thanks for reading!
