We're a group of seasoned players looking to collaborate with MCs. Our lineup includes upright bass, drums, electric piano and trumpet. Influence is early/mid 90s hip hop - jazzy, down tempo, chill - slinky grooves with hooky trumpet lines/melodies. Some changes, occasional solos, breaks, some vocal hooks/choruses/call and response. 

We're going to kick this thing off as primarily a live performance vehicle. We're looking to collaborate with a group of MCs that would rotate/vary by show. No MCs that spew hate or violence. In the spirit of jazz we want to keep it loose and flexible for the MC(s). While we'll have "structure" to most of the work, we'll work with the MCs to keep things cue based and open. We're hoping to create some great opportunities for guys to flow, some spontaneous choruses and of course some magic. While we don't want to step on any producers toes, we'd be willing to learn some tunes or elements. We want to get lineups together at least once in the rehearsal space prior to a gig. I have a studio in Coal Creek Canyon. It's about 45 min from Denver and 25 from Boulder and I run 16 track simultaneous live recording and post MP3s of all sessions. Ideally, we'll find the right fit on different tunes with different MCs over the course of some shows and then record an album.

We'd bill it as our band (Low End Highs) featuring so and so from so and so. We already have a gig booked at the Meadowlark on June 25th. We're looking to do 30 to 45 minutes so we need to get cracking.
