Cape Fusion Band Seeks Bassist

Sandwich MA

Description

Greetings, I'm Scotty West, founder and music director for the Experimental Ensemble of Cape Cod. Recently our good friend and bassist Cam Hall had to drop out of the band after anchoring our rhythm section for some 5 years. We can't thank him enough for his enormous contributions to our sound, but it's time for us to begin the search for a new bass player. We're looking for a knowledgeable player with solid meter, creative, reliable, personable... a team player and able to take direction. Monster jazz chops are not necessarily required but our tunes can be complex and contain room for bass solos. We have charts, tablature and practice backing tracks for all parts. 5/6 string, fretless and/or upright would be a plus. Perhaps you or someone you know would like to come play with us? A teacher might have an advanced student who would like the opportunity to play some original music with an established band? Any suggestions you might have would be much appreciated. In almost constant operation since the 1990s, XEnsemble is an all-original prog rock/fusion septet performing music blending jazz, rock, blues, classical and world influences. We're not a club band and we're not really in it for the money. We're an art ensemble/concert band. We rehearse Thursday nights in Sandwich and perform 4 to 6 shows a year... mostly outdoor summer concerts on various bandstands around The Cape. We're all very serious about what we do and have much fun playing together. Contact us anytime if you're interested in more info. Best of luck with all your creative endeavors and thanks for your consideration. Happy trails, Scotty
