SEEKING
Saxophone.ABOUT
Ensemtet is currently seeking a saxophonist: tenor or alto. Ensemtet is doing a daring MIDI-backed jazz thing that tries to transcend the limitations of static arrangements and emphasize improv as much as possible, all the while acting like dedicated jazz artists, but yet still using the technical tools of pop players in the studio--(Daring indeed! Yes, it is a balancing act!) Membership can flex down to a few persons with MIDI backing, but we can add live members up to a full quartet or even quintet. Songs include jazz standards, often heavily rearranged to sound a little more avant or contemporary, and also with a fast-growing list of originals.
