South Bay jazz trio seeks horns

1334 Dell Ave, Suite F near Winchester, Campbell CA

Description

** Our weekly rehearsals are in the South Bay on Mondays, 6pm-8pm (sometimes 9pm) in Campbell. ** We are experienced trio (guitar, bass, drums), that have been play'n and gig'n together for a few years in a larger format (+2 saxes and vocals). We are looking to add horn player(s) again (saxes and/or trumpet) to re-build or unique repertoire, and get out and play! We rehearse here: https://www.reedsrecordings.com/rehearsal We like to play highly arranged jazz/groove base tunes; select standards from the Real Books, but lean towards arrangements of our generation’s “standards” (songs from the 80's, 90's and beyond). Our arrangements are a collaborative process. While we appreciate most musical genres, we tend to avoid: thrash, punk, shred metal, disco, country, polkas, elevator music, rap, “hip-hop”, Top 40, “Classic Rock”, Taylor Swift, musical theatre, opera, dubstep, and Kenny G. Basically if we like the original and can rearrange it in our own jazzy/groovy kinda way, we’ll try it. Here’s tunes that inspire us: E.S.V. - Dodge The Dodo (we have an arrangement of this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5r1Ygkk0KA Brad Mehldau Trio - Paranoid Android (we have an arrangement of this) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1xuvOToo2Q&list=PLubaifwtWlQ9PykvSMvRlLsEBHXPH4ab0&index=6 The Bad Plus - Karma Police https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U66ZBGaGd1I&list=PLCL6iW_YPbNrNhDqc-t4Bk5LCvQa8h7Sc&index=10 Miles Davis - All Blues (we have an arrangement in 4/4) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-488UORrfJ0 Vulfpeck - Dean Town https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le0BLAEO93g Kait Dunton (trio) - Prelude https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM0u1_k2XfE The Smiths - This Charming Man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYYZFx7_DS8 And this trombone solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vh8l0x9uF-Y Our band's mascot is Randolph Mantooth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egCz5qppicY We do this for a love and passion for making music, not to pay the bills.
