ABOUT

I am looking for upright bassists to regularly practice with. (I currently have an existing working trio with regular bass player. This is my extension project.)
I sing and play ukulele. If you want expand your jazz standards repertoire, looking for someone to practice and jam with to improve your play, practice jazz improvisation and keen to busk, please contact me.
I love jazz standards, Bossa Nova, bit of Gypsy music, blues, some Japanese 70s,80s pop, also love sing R n B, soul, funk, neo-soul.
