Gatorgal: How about the tamborine. We can doll you up like the Partridge Family and stick you in front of the band.

Just don't expect me to wear the knit jumpsuit.

If any of you are ever in LA (for a special event or otherwise) you are all welcome to come jam at my house. I have drums, piano, several guitars, a fender bass (no upright, sorry), a trumpet, tap shoes and a PA system for the singers.

I play alto sax pretty good, I can sight read most stuff, but I'm just starting with improv. Swifty and I will soon form a trio with Poke Alex on guitar and take the world by storm.

Well I played clarinet and all saxes back in Junior High and High school. I even earned a scholarship from the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society back then. Unfortunately it's been many years since I picked up a horn so my chops are quite a bit out of shape.

so we have 4 Dj's from Seattle who play clarinet (if we include Travis) - I think we should work up something for the exchange just for laughs - Gary and Joon can play behind us - 4 clarinets and 2 drums.....

Sounds good, as long as we name it the "Train Wreck Stompers" or maybe "Joon Krupa and His Disintonated Quartet."

I'm a classically trained upright bass player myself.. also been considering trying to find a pickup jazz group here in Vancouver.
Between Seattle and Vancouver I'm sure we can get a few good groups going.

Trombone. It was '77 I think. I was getting pretty good when I decided to play basketball. All jump and going hard to the hoop. No left, no outside j. Should have stuck with the trombone.
Yard work sucks. I would much rather dj.

Can you slap the bass? We heard a guy yesterday playing slap style, featured on none other than the tune "Slap That Bass". It sounded pretty cool, it would fit in well with the Train Wreck Stompers.
