We now have a trumpet/clarinet, conga, acoustic guitar, electric bass, and a keyboard player who plays "Pink Floyd, we will be able to add a rhythm guitarist and flute when we are ready to jam at a commercial spot(Black Pearl on National HWY), Natasha Estates at Banilad, We are looking for drummer(traps) Sax, more brass, electric violin, piano, more percussion etc. We all have professional experience coming from Holland, France, USA, Philippines, international...leave your ego behind and have fun. We start with tune to jam like George Benson's "Breezin"...do pop, rock, latin, country rock( Brad Paisley, etc), Bossa Nova, Samba, Santana, Standards, Boleros, Chi-lites, Stevie Wonder, Folk, Van Morrison, Stones, Blues, Motown, jazz, Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass, Chicago, and whatever all of us fall into a groove...original stuff. All us need to be playing and looking for others out there in the Greater Dumaguete area.
Sounds like fun. I hope you can keep going and gain momentum. You play enough variety and popular tunes that you should keep most everyone entertained. I am an aspiring (novice) guitarist but my current day job and responsibilities keeps me away until I retire for real. I hope I can catch your act one day.
Its paraphrased but definately Robert, here is another: “I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.”
Sadly, we lost our wonderful friend and fine musician, Jellyfish, our trumpeter, John Kreemer Nov. 5th to a hit and run motorcyclist. He died at Silliman University Hospital about 6 P.M. after battling for his life since being hit in the late morning. Nevertheless, John is inspirational enough to have us find the talent to have our jams here in Dumaguete area.
I'm more inspired to play now. Lets jam for John. I sure he is playing his trumpet right now at that great gig in the sky!
I'm a lead and rhythm player, i posted and add to jam last year, no response, haven't played with a horn section. I'm more blues and rock based, but pretty diverse. would love to find bass and drummer just to jam, don't care to much about performing, just love the music. let me know if I might fit.
... there were a few responses but you disappeared from the board without giving any contact-info ... Link: http://www.dumagueteinfo.com/board/general-chat/any-musicians-want-jam-9222.html
ahh Ok I don't get on this site very much, guess I missed it, electric guitar guy, would love to jam with any level, just fun. it's good to jam, miss my strat.
