Jazz drummer needed for recording

New York City NY

Description

Guitarist/composer/improviser looking for drummer for remote recordings of original music. Would much prefer to play in the same space as the music has an improvisational focus but after years of searching for the right player, and recent limits of the pandemic, I’m trying something new. I'm not in New York but the best players are so... Looking for someone who can take my tracks and record drums on their own time… for pay. What I’m looking for - someone with jazz sensibilities, who can phrase over the bar lines, comfortable in different time signatures and feels, is open minded, enjoys creative collaboration and is not afraid of risk. What I’m NOT looking for - a groove player, back beats, someone who ‘lays it down’ or is trying to sound like their hero. The music is fairly introspective for trio with high levels of interaction expected - how do you do that when remote? I don’t know but looking for someone willing and able to try. I’m looking for a pro and will pay a reasonable fee per tune for the right fit. I have charts and rough mixes ready to go. Please provide audio of your playing. I will not respond without it.
