MilesPrower Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Excellent bassist required for jazz fusion project. The bass player will complete the 'core' group of keys drums bass, and we will work with various guitar sax vocalists etc. Must have great sense of groove, developed jazz harmony, comfortable playing in odd times, basically able to go anywhere stylistically, we play some standard tunes but also developing originals with a strong emphasis on improvisation. Look forward to hearing from you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I think you know the question I'm going to ask don't you? Where are you based? It sometimes matters you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesPrower Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 we meet around Tooting/Streatham way, sometimes WImbledon. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesPrower Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nobody? Surely someone on here feels up to the challenge, we're trying to put together a killer group and bass is the final piece?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Would love to do this, but not sure my skills are up to scratch. Do you use charts or anything? Or just shout a key and go with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesPrower Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yeah some charts for the original tunes with important parts scored out, for any covers I'm sure there are charts in the real book etc, we also like a free approach - improvising and seeing where it goes, it could be anything from odd time sigs to funk, swing, latin whatever...and sometimes yes just shouting a key...just enjoying making music. If you fancy it pm me and we'll set up a meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil625sxc Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hi there Where & when do you rehearse and how frequently would you be looking to rehearse/gig ? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesPrower Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 With the right line up we want to be playing as much as possible, maybe backing different soloists/vocalists etc, we're also going to approach places to be the house band. We rehearse twice weekly at the moment but it's obviously not like running over the same songs every time, more about developing a synergy and enjoying developing and being creative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil625sxc Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Sounds good but unfortunately I don't think I have enough free time to commit, I couldn't do two rehearsals a week - good luck with finding someone ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesPrower Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hi Phil625, why not come along for a jam to see how you get on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yybass Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The bassist that secures the position will be very fortunate, MilesPower can groove and a nice down to earth guy too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
