OMG: Trombone/tuba/trumpet players wanted for an old time blues and jazz band. Think Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Sidney Bechet, pre-war music. There are a bunch of us already, between ages 24 and 77 and would really like some brass instrumentalists to jam with. Please respond here if you're interested!
Details?

ReplyDeletealso, I'm a grad student. We've very nonthreatening. Just want to jam more often and get some regular shows booked this year.
When and where do I show up with a trombone?
ReplyDeleteTrombone, yes please! Shoot me an e-mail at bemantyn@uwaterloo.ca and I'll bring you into the loop.
ReplyDeleteIf you're looking for gigs, try the Hep Cat Hoppers. They often host live swing/jazz/blues music for dancers.
