Double Bassist (or bassist) needed for Jazz Band

duffman90210

Hi there,

I'm in the process of setting up a jazz band, we have everything necessary except the bass. Piano, Drums, Guitar, Clarinet and saxs (alto+tenor). 2 of us are TCD 2nd year music students, another TCD 2nd year in another course, another is slightly older, a 27 year old graduate, a brother of one of the members, and the other two are just friends of friends we've managed to find. We have all the music ready to go, and 2 city centre places to practise. For the first while we plan to use the "real books" to play some Cannonball Adderely, Thad Jones, Herman Hupfield, Lester Young, Sonny Rollins and Joe Zawinul kind of chilled vibe, however, there are plans for some originals too. Preferebly we'd like to hear from any double bassists, in the dublin area, who would be up for playing during the week. However, as it appears that double bassists are a rare breed, we'd also be happy to hear from any jazz bass guitarists. Really hope to hear from somebody soon, as we're all very eager to get playing. Any questions, or you'd be interested? PM me and let me know, or just reply here.

Cheers.
