ABOUT

Tenor sax player looking to hang out with people interested in playing jazz fusion & funk. Modal jazz, fusion, 1959 plus, and using modern Pop, R&B and Blues tunes as "heads." (Think Lucky Chops or Max the Sax.) Technically, I'm very good - but not really comfortable improvising with a group. But that is the point - I would like to jam with some people on a regular basis.
Je suis anglophone, mais je parle français aussi.
