guitarist seeking jazz collaborators

Portland OR

Description

Hello Portland musicians! I'm a guitarist looking for people to play jazz standards and jazz-blues with. I know my way around the fingerboard, have a solid grasp of theory and a decent ear, and I can read chord charts pretty quickly and have a few tunes under my belt. I'm looking for other guitarists or a bassist (maybe eventually a drummer if things mesh) to work through standards with. Main goals are practice and self-expression but who knows what it might become. Some of the bands and musicians I admire include John Scofield, MMW, Emily Remler, Barney Kessel, BB King, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery, Brubeck Quartet, Allman Brothers, Fela Kuti, Khruangbin, Seu Jorge, Doc Watson, and many more! I'm 33 and have a career but am pretty focused on my musical development in my free time. I have a place to play if you are okay with dogs. Available weekday evenings and weekend days here and there. Also willing to travel. ✌️ Tom
