Musicians wanted
December 09
Musicians wanted to form large(ish) band to play 70s electric jazz.  I envisage playing material from that era by Miles, Herbie Hancock, Mahavishnu, etc.  Riff-based jams with minimum structure, but enough to prevent things ending up in a cul-de-sac.  Quiet moments to outrageous screaming horn and guitar-fests.
Perhaps go the whole hog and have a Miles-esque line-up including two drummers and two bassists – am open to ideas.
Anyway – if this project interests you, please get in touch.
