Music:Member Since: 3/2/2008Band Website: www.guitarspot.org Band Members: Jimmy Jazz performed with the US Navy Band and covered the guitar chair in a variety of musical situations ranging from big band swing to country and western, good old rock and roll. From a relaxing cocktail party to a festive occasion with dancing and mirth. Jimmy Jazz (solo guitar) or Jazzsurfer (the plural of Jimmy Jazz) when he networks with the finest professional musicians at the Jersey Shore to assemble a custom ensemble specific to your musical needs. A guitar duo? Classic jazz trio? A quartet to rock your world?****************** Remember......... Without you, there is no Jazzsurfer! Influences: From Iron Butterfly to Frank Sinatra and beyond. OK...specifically:Ray Charles, Howard Roberts, B.B. King, Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Joe Pass, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Art Farmer, Jim Hall, Charlie Parker, Barney Kessel, Charlie Christian, Barry Galbraith, Lenny Breau, Danny Gatton, Tal Farlow, Django Reinhardt, Bob Dylan, Manhattan Transfer, New York Voices, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Mark Murphy, Kenny Rankin, Blood Sweat & Tears, Tower of Power, Chicago, Motown et al, R&B et al, yea, Jimmy Raney, Jimi Hendrix, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Tommy Tedesco, Herb Ellis, Charlie Byrd, Andre Segovia, Laurence Welk, Mitch Miller, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West, Jobim, Godsmack, Korn, Grand Funk Railroad and last but not least The Blues Brothers.Now if the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Deep Purple, and Commander Cody's Lost Planet Airman will please forgive me, I can rest assured that the hundreds of other artists and bands in ALL genres that I have feasted my ears upon and learned from will too. And a special thanks to the late Pedro Albani for teaching me and stressing the importance of a musician being able to read music. Also, Dennis McCorkle from the Big Apple for sharing his vast knowledge of Jazz Guitar with me and, again, the importance of reading, chord melody, and theory. Of course I would be remiss if I did not mention my friends from the elementary school garage band days: Bob Sterling and Tom Van Duyne, both fine Jazz Guitar players. Sounds Like: A good musician should sound like the music being performed was intended to sound, personal touches not withstanding. Unless the artist is perfoming his or her own compositions (in which event, he or she should sound like he or she) the professional plays to entertain the audience in service to the music and not their own ego. This, at least, is my take on the situation. Visit My Photos - 20 Pics Musical Gear Record Label: contact: jazzsurfer@yahoo.com |
