ABOUT

Currently looking for another band/project. Solid trumpet player here. Just finished with a gigging pub band which dissolved. Lots of experience, into soul, jazz, funk, acid jazz. My main instrument is the trumpet. Influences Maceo and the Macks, Fatback Band, Lynn Collins, jazz, James Taylor quartet, Stanley Turrentine, blues, pop and house, Jamiroquai Andrey Exx Freemasons Burna
Boy DJ Fresh currently on my jam list amongst others. Happy soloing over anything pretty much and backing brass. Also play guitar and keyboards, chords no soloing really. Looking for funk/acid jazz reggae cover or trad jazz band to commit to. Solid music theory and songwriting ability. Based in Clapham.
Also looking for house/disco DJ to play improvise over.

Influences

Everything from ABBA Paul Weller Jamiroquai Maceo and the Macks Lynn Collins Fatback Band Freemasons Groove Junkies to the odd show tune. I like playing jazzy chords and progressions on piano. Would like to find DJ to play trumpet over house/disco/nu disco tracks.
