My main instrument is the trumpet. I’ve been playing a lot over lockdown, mostly over funk, Maceo and the Macks, Fatback Band, Lynn Collins, jazz, james Taylor quartet, Stanley Turrentine, blues, pop and house, jamiroquai Andrey Exx Freemasons Burna
Boy DJ Fresh currently on my jam list amongst others. Happy soloing over anything pretty much and backing brass. Also play guitar and keyboards, chords no soloing really. Looking for funk/acid jazz reggae cover or trad jazz band to commit to. Solid music theory and songwriting ability. Based in Clapham.
I also play with Ska band The Jumpstarts. We are a gigging pub/small festival band, currently looking for a guitarist!
