Awesome. What chart are you arranging?

With the possibility of playing all four bone parts, I'd love to get practicing. That feels weird to say.

I'm still working on getting my chops back a bit on my fretless. In the mean time, I played bass on this entire album some years ago. It's not exactly big band stuff by a long shot but it shows I can play a bit. I have no problems reading charts and chord changes.

Hey, thanks for the interest! Even if your fretless skills are not up to par, itd be cool if you could send me a sample of you reading some chord changes in maybe some jazz/funk styles on whatever bass youre comfortable with!

Woo glad to be on, and looking forward to imaginary playing alongside Sir Jordanious

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to announce some big and exciting news! We have found a bassist who will grace us with his presence! I'd like to welcome audiofidelity to the group! Jay is a fantastic and versatile bassist who I've had the pleasure to work with in years past.
Secondly, I'd like to officially welcome C7 to our group as a our second trumpet player! He sent me some demo material a few days ago and I am looking very forward to working with him!

With those two announcements, it means that we have enough musicians to start doing some recording! We are still looking for another trumpet player and a couple more trombones, but with what we have now, we can definitley start making some music. Therefore I'm officially putting the invitation out to arrangers to start bringing forth some music for us to play!
Music submitted must be accompanied with scores, and should be written for such an ensemble such as ours, or a fragment of it ( i.e. rhythm section + 2 horns etc.). Genre is not extremely important, as long as it fits the instrumentation provided.

Lots of big stuff happening folks! Up and onwards!

Fratto, are you playing bass trombone as well? If so, Wiesty, you should specify that in the first post. Just like an alto sax and a tenor sax are two different instruments, so are trombone and bass trombone.

C7, thanks for the range info! I would suggest to the other horns to post theirs as well, so any arrangers won't have to write too conservatively (the saxes can be cut and dry, but anyone with altissimo capabilities should say so, unless they'd be more comfortable only utilizing those notes in an improvisation).

Now, time to pick a source! Choices, choices...

[Wiesty]

So far I have a pretty good idea of peoples ranges, but I shall collect these and create a info sheet or something like that. I made sure when I was recruiting that most of the horn players had decent ranges ;)
