want to make a mid-level jazz quartet

Chicago IL

Description

Hey, I'm a guitarist looking to play some jazz and jazz-adjacent music, and let me tell you what I have in mind. In terms of skill and experience level this would be somewhere in the middle, so neither beginners nor seasoned jazz pros, somewhere intermediate. You should have some previous experience in a combo(s), and the ability to read. An idea is we could play once a week until hopefully establishing a regular or semi-regular gig. We could play standards while forming the group which makes it easy to put something together, but I would rather find some spicier standards for that, rather than the same old "Satin Doll" "Take the A Train" etc. (I would be happy to never play the overplayed "standards" again.) When we get something solid together, we could do some original stuff. For now, looking for a drummer and bass player, and either keys or some wind as a 4th. Please if interested reply with some recordings of your playing and your intentions / any other ideas you have, and I can do the same.
