Hey Guys, so im in a 3 piece band and i recently got some connections around town to play. I know and play blues, rock and know only a couple of gypsy-jazz songs (Django Reinhardt.) The guys and i play rock, funk and oldies and have a wide range of them too. We could always ride to a bigger city a hour away and ask around, but i dont know the sound we would have to pick up to play at gigs. We all are on a tight budget so we thought local for now.
Basically the bottom line im getting too, Do you guys know any good jazz or gypsy jazz pieces for drums, guitar and bass? Personal thoughts and opinions performing white-blues and black-blues? And lastly, Is it better to start from scratch and new style to play for a gig in city, or is it better to go around and see what establishments would like a rock, funk and oldies band? and opinions or personal experience is appreciated. Rock on!
