    Forming a jazz band

    Hey there,

    I haven't been back on this forum for a while, but here I am. I'm here in HK for a while, and I'm looking for people who want to form a small jazz band with me.

    I play the trombone (i've been playing since grade 8, and i have just graduated from university, where I was the manager and trombonist of my own jazz band/jamming club). I need a drummer, a bassist, a keyboardist/guitarist, and maybe a few more horns and saxes. You will need to have your own instrument, and we will need to find a place where we can practice.

    We'll be starting from scratch. I've got some real book material with me. It'll also be cool if we can write our own music. I've only been playing standards so far (+ latin, fusion, etc.), but i would also like to explore the horizons and try to incorporate more Zero 7-like electronica into what i'm playing this time. I'm into that.

    Experienced jazz musicians preferred. PM me if you're interested.

    Thanks!
