Any Jazz Musicians in Ukiah area looking for bass?

Ukiah CA

Description

Greetings. I am a bass player located in Ukiah. My last guitar player left the area, and now I am bereft and am looking for local jazz musicians of like mind to jam with, with an eye towards occasional gig or recording work. I have 59 years experience playing the upright bass (I started young). In those years, I have played just about every genre that you can use an upright for, from bluegrass to symphonic. I am also a passable singer with an ear for harmonies. My preferences lean to jazz standards, the American Songbook and bossa nova. I am particularly fond of gypsy jazz. My influences include Django Reinhart, The David Grisman quintet, Luiz Bonfa and Antonio Jobim. I am not much interested in “free form” jazz. I am retired, so my schedule is pretty flexible. If you have a spot for me, give me a shout. (Sorry, but drugs are a non-starter)
