Cello player needed for acoustic jazz standards project

New York City NY

Description

I'm forming a new project of playing stripped down acoustic versions of old jazz standards. I'm just starting to book some places and I'm looking for someone to back me up. I basically play acoustic rhythm guitar and sing and my vision is start with cello to fill out the sound to cover the low end and also have to capability for "solo" section/instrumental verses. I have about 30 standards down, I also have chosen a handful of Beatles (the more unique and sophisticated and complex chord based tunes of theirs) and a handful of random other songs (show tunes, classic rock, pop ballads) that fit this overall feel. I used to have a full band of mostly originals, and I may include some originals on occasion. I'd love to connect to discuss the possibility. I'm based in Manhattan, in Chelsea. all the best Drew 21-50 preferred
