bassjamm Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That's realy cool man...very cool indeed!!! I need to do more jazz...have you checked out the jazz jam at the yardbird? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yeah I tend to go every week on the thursday. I haven't played at it yet as I am not too confident about my upright abilities (they occasionally have an electric bass there). It is a little quieter than usual now that the students have gone, but come september it will be the busiest night there. There is also a jazz/funk/soul tye of jam every other wednesday aswell which I have played at. You should head along sometime if you are free.

bassjamm Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yeah, i'm going to come to the Wednesday one sometime...i'm looking forward to it!!! I've just booked my band in there for October 13th, really stoked about that, should be awesome! What are the Wednesdays like then? Is it a decent standard, do they welcome people who don't have a great deal of knowledge about jazz but plenty of enthusiasm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwbassman Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Hey Mikey, some good work there mate, sounds great and really drives along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey D Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Overall the standard tends to be higher on the thursday as you have the jazz students and teacheres there, the wednesday ones can on occasion be a bit too samey with mainly 12 bar blues being called or footprints, but of course everyone is welcome and it is a good atmosphere to just get up and give it a go. Let me know when your heading up there, would be good to meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Good work. Nice playing. I couldn't do it! Although - how high's he got that guitar?! Makes Mark King look like lowslung! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
