Thanks for all of your advice. I really appreciate it.
I did have a band and have spoken with a trumpeter, drummer, and bassist about getting something together.
Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of places here where jazz musicians get together, but there are some blues jam sessions.
I will also look into advertising using music postings on the web and emphasizing the cost savings on craigslist.org.
Yes, I've played weddings and other similar functions in the past. I've almost always had some type of a band to play with though. However, I have built up a good library of backtracks which I have also used at other gigs.
Believe it or not, I also played "Danny Boy" once at a funeral! That was an unaccompanied solo and it went quite well.
Thanks again for your suggestions. I'd love to hear more!
