Band to Join.ABOUT
I've been a pro standard Trumpet/Flugelhorn player for many years. I've done a lot of Big Band, Horn Section stuff but now really just play for fun. I play a number of instruments and love to experiment with new things (and instruments). I play mostly jazz and gospel music - but have always wanted to play in the Steely Dan tribute band!!
Happy to play jazz standards or any other kind of music - as long as the standard is good.

EQUIPMENT
To be honest - it's not about the kit. A good player (will probably) sound pretty good on 'non-top-of-the-range' kit.
Schilke B32 Trumpet / Yamaha Fluglhorn
Ibanez B65 Bass / Hughes and Kettener 200 amp.
Yamaha YTS61 Tenor Saxophone
Yamaha Drum kit (cheap but sounds okay with good heads when it's tuned / damped correctly)
