Fusion Keyboards Player Wanted For Upper Manhattan Arts Festival in Manhattan, New York For Sale

Northern Manhattan electric bassist, drummer & guitarist seek a keyboards player to crank out some high-energy electric jazz & fusion tunes at the Blooming Arts Festival in Inwood, on Saturday, June 15. We'll play two (2) one-hour sets throughout the afternoon, starting @ approximately 3:00 pm, concluding by 6:00 pm. The gig is pure community enrichment, community engagement - no pay, just play.
We'll prepare approximately eight (8) cover tunes - getting the basic structure down, without the necessity of learning them note-for-note. I'm striving to select material that is 1) high-energy, 2) relatively simple in structure, 3) groovalicious, and 4) offers plenty of space for extended improvisation - and solos. We'll alternate between jamming on the cover tunes, and performing pure improvisation - made up in the moment. Bring your ears, and bring your chops!
Sampling of artists we'll cover: Jeff Beck (fusion period), Jean Luc-Ponty (ditto), Dixie Dregs, Mahavishnu Orchestra, etc.
We'll be performing in a large room (church gymnasium), but we'll need to keep the volume to moderate levels. Everyone will need to use small rigs or combo amps, with the exception of the drummer, who will go unamplified. The keyboards player should bring an instrument that produces piano tones, as well as good basic synth tones - for playing those great Jan Hammer, Chick Corea, Rod Morgenstein lead/solo parts!
Although this is intended as a one-off event, if the group shows promise and there is energy & chemistry, it could make for the foundation of something ongoing - right here in The Hood. Preference given to players who live in Manhattan from 168th Street uptown - but if you're good and still want to play, don't let that stop you from reaching out.
Let me hear from all you fellow uptowners! Let's see your community spirit!
