ABOUT

JAZZ/BLUES GUITARIST/SAX PLAYER SEEKS BAND, JAMS, GIGS SYDNEY & SW.

EXPERIENCED GUITAR/SAX PLAYER

* SEEKS FILL-IN WORK,
* CASUAL GIGS,
* FULL TIME BAND,
* OR SIT INS WITH EXPERIENCED GIGGING BANDS.
* CREATIVE PRIVATE JAMS

MY APOLOGIES FOR A LONG POST. I DON'T LIKE TO WASTE PEOPLES TIME SO I TEND TO BE QUITE SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

40+ years pro experience.

Based in SW Sydney but will travel for well organised jams, rehearsals and gigs.

I'm familiar with most styles of music but my focus is on Jazz, Blues and blues related styles (Soul, Funk, Neo Soul etc). Texas, Jump/Jive, Chicago, Gospel, Jazz no problem.

I READ NOTATION AND CHORD CHARTS ON ALL INSTRUMENTS.

*GUITAR
Strong lead and rhythm skills....quite happy to play rhythm and sax while your regular guitarist does his thing.

*BASS
Pro standard, experienced in a wide variety of styles.
I have studied bass and play like a bass player....not like a guitar player who thinks he can play bass.....Freelance gigs only.


* SAX
Tenor and Alto......Blues, rock, funk, smooth jazz.
Experienced....Played in a bands on Sax only

* MANDOLIN
Chords and Improv. Maybe useful if your band does a acoustic blues set.

* VOCALS
I have about 20 odd blues tunes I can croak out. I can sing in tune and in time but I'm nothing special.

Mind you I've had a listen to quite a few singers who are out there working who are no better than me so maybe I'll take the vocals a bit more seriously this year (2024)
.

LOOKING FOR WORK, OR JAMS WITH EXPERIENCED PLAYERS WHO CAN USE MY EXPERIENCE TO THEIR BEST ADVANTAGE.

NORTHSIDE OF THE HARBOUR IS A BIT FAR FOR ME, AS IS THE CROSS.

But I'm open to be persuaded if the right ducks line up.
Can't travel however.....work for myself and "away gigs" cost me more than I earn. Anywhere else is ok.

BANDS ......OR BLUES DUOS/TRIOS

BLUES OR JAZZ ACTS ONLY ACTS ONLY PLEASE.....
NOT INTERESTED IN BANDS THAT HAVE A STRONG CLASSIC ROCK/ALT/PUNK SETLIST.

I understand that a few crowd pleasers make good sense but I'm looking for a band that has a more Jazz or blues based repertoire.

I know there is little money in the Jazz/blues arena.....so this not about the money....more about playing creative enjoyable music with nice people.

Talk is cheap...please go to the Audition tracks folder on my RN page for audio samples.
