Seeking Bassist for Jazz in Portland, ME

Searching for a Bassist in the Portland area for a Jazz direction with practical goals.

Intent: audition-style tryout. Start with 2–3 songs, then a focused session in Portland. Looking for clear communication and follow-through, strong time, and good listening. If it clicks, we build.

Priorities: timing, tone, and parts that serve the song. Style notes: Jazz with focus on strong time, standards or modern sets, good ears.

Schedule: one to two meetups per week, then adjust based on momentum. We can work with minimal gear—just be prepared and on time. Reach out with gear basics, availability, and the kind of stage/room you’re comfortable in. When you message, include code: Portland-Bassist-Jazz-a0dbc281. If you prefer rehearsing with a click, say so; otherwise we keep it natural. If you learn by ear, that’s fine—just be consistent. If you’re new in town, this is a good way to plug into the local scene. If you learn by ear, that’s fine—just be consistent. If you read charts, mention it; if not, we’ll keep instructions simple.
