Jazz Bassist needed for weekly playing sesh

New York City NY

Description

We are a tenor saxophonist, guitarist, and drummer very experienced in playing jazz, but with full time jobs (two of us as band teachers in NYC). Although we play gigs, we want to keep our standards fresh by playing them more! We are looking to create a small weekly session (quartet) to work on standards and keep tunes refreshed. Seeking a bassist who’d be into doing this weekly (and share cost) of renting a studio. Seeking someone committed to musical growth. This is NOT a paid gig situation, so if that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t it. Inevitably, some gigs will happen either for this group or with one of us. But, it’s not the focus of this session. Tunes would be American songbook standards, but also from people like Wayne Shorter, Monk, Horace Silver, Metheny, Joe Henderson, etc.
