Mid twenties drummer looking for band. Been playing for roughly ten years and have been unable to find a band that has the sound i'm looking to play. Listen to everything from jazz to to metal so I have an eclectic taste in music and are able to bring more then just a basic beat to a song. Influences showcasing the type of music i'm looking to play are Foo Fighters, Perfect Circle, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Alice in Chains, Primus, Incubus, Rage Against the Machine, The Who. The list can go on but thats just to give an example. Also for as serious as I want to take this I also wanna have fun with it because it's supposed to be, why else would i wanna do it?

I have 20+ years experience playing a variety of styles. Pro gear. I would prefer an established working band, but would definitely consider a new project with experienced players. A contemporary jazz group would be ideal, but a blues/R&B or R&B/soul band would be good, too. I'm not at all interested in blues/rock.

Private drum lessons in my Beechmont studio. Elmer Monk (formerly Makin' Music)accepting students. Reading, Rock & Jazz styles, playing technique and ear training. Beginner to advanced. 513-528-3786

Present:

Cincy Unity Holiday Jam
At The Blue Wisp
12-26-2009
5pm-10pm

Cincy Unity Holiday Jam is a collaborative effort of Positive Image Productions & The Blue Wisp Jazz Club to bring people together in unity to seek and celebrate peace; because without unity there is no way peace can be achieved.

Positive Image Productions, a subsidiary of Positive Image Arts Organization, hopes to contribute to building a peaceful and respectful world in which to live. We hope to be able to accomplish this, and many more positive achievements, through music, arts, entertainment and collaboration with other organizations.

Cincy Unity Holiday Jam will take place on the 26th of December, 2009, at the legendary jazz club, The Blue Wisp. The door of the event will be open to the public at 4pm, and the first performance will kick off at 5pm. There are 5 bands in the line up. Each band will get 15 minutes of set up time and 45 minutes of performance time. The bands in the line up are:

Souse
In the Spring of 2004, SOUSE was formed out of the ashes of the late progressive fusion band Final Exit. Three times nominated for “Best Jam Band” and "Best R&B/Funk Band" at the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards, SOUSE is a merger of key members of many notable regional funk-fusion and jam acts. Blending infectious melodies with layered rhythms and open improvisational passages, SOUSE continues to forge a unique sound and take their format in new directions. Drawing on keen musicianship and innate compositional skills, SOUSE has compiled an extensive library of original compositions while taking time to pay homage to their jazz and fusion influences. SOUSE is best experienced live and is currently busy promoting the release of their first full length CD, PUSH, at clubs and festivals throughout the Midwest.


Wade Baker
If one were attempting to design a prototype for the quintessential contemporary musician, trumpeter/fluegelhornist/bassist/composer Wade Baker would be an ideal model. A certified member of the hip-hop
generation, Wade's early aspirations in the world of hip-hop & rock music took precedence over the trumpet that he began playing in the sixth grade. When he reached twenty, his dedication to the art of jazz took shape. Rather than abandoning the music he loved, he simply applied its energy, spirit and fiercely proud intellectual rage to the jazz idiom, creating a synthesis that is truly contemporary. Baker has developed his sound from a wide variety of musical influences. He weaves together elements of R&B, Soul, Blues, Jazz, Rock & Roll and Hip-Hop into a progressive jazz style that pays tribute to its tradition

Chick Pimp
The ambition to experiment with different sounds is what brought the members of Chick Pimp, Coke Dealer at a Bar together. Jazz, folk, pop, and bluegrass influences lay the groundwork for what the UC News Record has dubbed "an improvisational frenzy". Following the release of their polkatronic debut record 'Bofa Deez' in July 2008, the band was awarded a CEA for "Best Experimental Artist" by CityBeat in 2008. 'Bofa Deez' was recognized as one of CityBeat's "Best Albums of 2008".

Chuck Land Band
Chuck Land Jr. grew up playing drums, guitar & piano at an early age. Eventually he developed a great love for the Hammond Organ. Chuck
incorporates many genres into his style and uses a variety of vintage
sounding instruments in his music.
Some of his influences consist of Billy Preston, The Meters, Robert Randolph, The Jazz Crusaders, Steve Winwood and many others. You never know who your going to see backing Chuck up. One thing you will see is a show full of energy & soul. For more info go to www.myspace.com/chucklandband



The Image Afro-beat Band
Afro-beat, a musical combination of western big band jazz with African instruments and languages, is a musical expression of peace, love, unity, truth and justice. The Image Afro-beat Band is comprised of talented musicians that come from different musical & cultural backgrounds to play the unique style of music known as Afro-beat. Using the power of music, the band hopes to create appreciation for cultural diversity, respect for life and to contribute to making the world a more peaceful and respectful place in which to live. United, we can do it.

The event is set to take place at:
The Blue Wisp
318 E. 8th Street
Between Broadway & Sycamore
in Downtown Cincinnati, OH.

The door will open for the public at 4pm, the event will start at 5pm and go till 10pm. The ticket to the event will be sold for $12 in advance and $15 at the door. People can call 513-266-2070 or email baoku@baokutcr.com for tickets. Additional information about the event can be found at:
