Hello from Manchester

[Jadegames]

Hi all,

 

Was searching to buy an upright bass and thankfully found this forum. I've been playing bass for 20+ years in mostly funk indie bands but want to start playing jazz (also want to learn how to better ready music!) I'm hoping in 6-ish months I'll be able to sight read any good sounding jazz standard and be in a jazz band playing in Manchester

Welcome!

 

I believe the jazz workshop class at Band on the Wall is highly thought of, if you're interested in that sort of format:

There are one or two jazz jam sessions around town as well. I keep meaning to get along to one of them one of these days…
