Bilbo Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I am the house bass player at tomorrow's jam at The Bull in Colchester. The last three times I did it, I was the only bass player. Can SOME of you come down and give me a break? PLEASE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a pity that Jazz is so disliked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesparky Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That's a shame, I'd have come along as I'm local, in Ipswich. Sadly I'm working in London all of this week. Have a good one though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamdenRob Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I lived near Colchester for years... Good venue The Bull, it's been through some changes over the years though, I seem to remember at one point it was a Chinese takeaway....

pete.young Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Sorry but that coincided with a rehearsal. Besides which Rob, who could possibly step into your shoes? What kind of jazz and do you work from dots, chord charts or by ear? All these things would help to make a decision. Generally with jazz I don't have the chops to play what I like and wouldn't touch the stuff I can play with a 10 foot bargepole! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I wanted to come and see Andi but unfortunately I was in Tunisia. I was the house bass player for the gig when Elmer took it over years ago (from Mick Hutton I think) and I do the odd one now and then. A lot of my buddies play there (Simon Hurley, Albert Garza, Zak and Holly Barrett, Dan Banks, Andy Staples etc) so I'm there pretty frequently. We know a lot of the same people and it's high time we met Rob! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
