SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Upright bass.ABOUT
I'm a jazz vocalist and would love to connect with a mature, talented pianist/keyboardist with composing skills and a passion for jazz standards and performing. I'd also like to play with a saxophonist, jazz guitarist, upright bassist and drummer. The ultimate objective is to "play for pay," to form an artistic, creative partnership - duo, trio or quartet. With good energy, the sky's the limit.
