I need to hire an acoustic jazz guitarist, jazz bassist (may be electric), and jazz percussionist for a wedding in June
My sister’s wedding is in June, and I will be playing the music at her wedding. I play the guitar. The idea is to play everything acoustically (although, it is fine if the bass is electric). We are thinking of playing about 7 romantic-sounding, silky smooth jazz chord progressions with solo improvisation. We are also thinking of playing 3 or 4 regular, popular romantic songs (ideas include “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring,” “How Deep is Your Love,” maybe “Canon,” etc.). There may be more.
The musicians must, of course, be able to play both jazz and regular style alike.
For jazz, we are thinking that each of the two guitarist (including myself) should take turns alternating between playing rhythm and soloing. Therefore, the second guitarist must be very adept at playing awesome and complex soloes as well as smooth rhythm.
For jazz, I am thinking of using a nylon string guitar. For the regular songs, a steel string. This may change if we find better sound.
Please DM me if you are interested, and include how much you would charge for this gig, how many years you have been playing, and what your level of proficiency is.
Thank you in advance so much!
