Looking to form a weekly "jam-band" only. Old school or modern funk-jazz-electronica fusions - as long as its interesting and challenging. More modern R&B OK - standards re-imagined OK - electronica tinged is cool. Ideally do various related genre covers - but OK with structured and unstructured jams. Also OK with developing new material within genre targets.
