Jazz musicians and composers in Taiwan

Tenor sax and guitar playing ex-pat needs high-level jazz musicians to play with. I reside in Hsinchu and I will travel to play with serious musicians. I'm determined to gig, record, compose, and play uncompromisingly high quality music. I compose tunes and love standards as well. I am playing with a great violinist who is a talented improviser. I love Trane, Miles, Wayne Shorter, electric and straight ahead to experimental music.
If you're in Hsinchu and play bass, drums, piano, or whatever, contact me. I'll also travel to your city if there's a good scene there.

Jazz Piano player

I'm a pretty dedicated jazz piano player and I'm moving to Taoyuan for a period of several years in August of 2009. I listen to pretty much Miles Davis, Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, and also a lot of Brazillian Bossa Nova. I'm not exactly a professional musician yet, since I only know about 10 jazz tunes that I'm comfortable improvising over. BUT, I really am serious about improving and playing professionally in the future and will dedicate quite a bit of time to learning tunes and improving my improv. I have jammed with jazz musicians before, so I know how to sink into a good groove during a solo without getting too far away from everyone else's playing so I can still swing. The songs I can do are the famous ones - Autumn Leaves, Giant Steps, All Blues, Someday My Prince Will Come... etc. but I'd be really into playing some newer tunes like Ju Ju. Feel free to contact me to jam.
