Jazz quartet seeks horn

1334 Dell Ave, Suite F near Winchester, Campbell CA

Description

** Our weekly rehearsals are in the South Bay on Mondays, 6:00pm-9:00pm in Campbell. ** We are experienced trio (guitar, bass, drums), that has been play'n and gig'n together for a few years in a larger format (+2 saxes and vocals). We recently added a sax player (alto, tenor, bari, WX-5, mostly alto), but now we're looking for another horn player (sax or trumpet) to round out the group! Join us and we'll get out and play our unique repertoire! We rehearse here: https://www.reedsrecordings.com/rehearsal We play highly arranged jazz/groove base tunes and select standards from the Real Books. We 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: Esbjorn Svensson Trio - 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.
