Blue Notes Looking for Trumpet/Cornet Player

8801 Cypress Lakes Dr near Strickland and Six Forks, Raleigh NC

Description

The Blue Notes is a local Dixieland Jazz Band that rehearses weekly and gigs often for private groups and public events. We are an 8 piece Group made up of, Clarinet, Trumpet, Tenor Sax, Trombone, Bass, Banjo, Piano and Drums. We are looking for a primary trumpet/cornet player that can read music and is comfortable with soloing. Solos are written out with melody and cords for the musician to elaborate on. (If you are serious I can provide a link to the book) Check out www.bndixieland.com for more information and audio samples and where you can submit an email or reply here. Please provide information on your background: ever play Dixieland or Jazz, want to improve your soloing? (this is a great place to do that) and your thoughts on joining such a group (we always need back ups) and what you are looking for. We do this for fun and to recoup some of our expenses, primarily for fun. Want to have a great time playing some really fun music with some really great folks? This is a great group to do it with. We meet Tuesday Nights 7:00 to 9:00 in the area around Strickland and Six Forks? We meet weekly to improve our craft and have a good time. We have 5 gigs between now and July 5. After that the next gig is Sept 5. I am looking for folks to come and check us out prior to July and then join us after July 5 to prepare for the Sept 5 gig. This period (July 5 to Sept 5) would be the opportunity for trying out and trying us out. I hope to hear from you!!
