Introduction

Hello, I play drums as a hobby on and off. And I'm a proud owner of a late 60's Slingerland Jazz Kit! I studied Jazz Drumming in the Bay Area, 10 year's ago with E.W. Wainwright! He ran the SF Jazz Workshop in Frisco in the 70's and 80's!

How did you here about us?

Just moved to the area and signed on to a few meetups. I need to meet people and make new friends.

What style of jazz do you enjoy most?

I have a lot of respect for the Free Jazz Movement in the 60's and 70's. Sun Ra, Miles and T-Monk...trailblazers...they were deep cats...and I respect that boldness. But I also have a lot of respect for Esperanza Spalding. She's amazing...for how young she is...GREAT things will come from her!

Who are some of your favorite jazz musicians?

See above.

Why did you decide to join?

You guys probably know of a Japanese woman owning a Jazz Club in Downtown LA...apparently people in "the know" or "underground" know of this place? World Class Jazz Cats come there to sit in and/or be a part of the audience. But we used to hear about it in Oakland...when we would have underground jam sessions in peoples houses! I miss that...it was like pick-up game! It's became very popular during the recession, in 2008!

Are you aware of our $10 annual membership dues?

No..but I reckon.it's worth it!
