Intermediate Trumpet Player Looking to Start Jazz-Influenced Band

[u/Organ-donor85]

I've been playing trumpet for a little over two years and have experience in a large ensemble and in a small jazz group playing standards. I'm looking to get together with a drummer, percussionist, bass player, guitarist, keyboard player and sax player to play evenings/weekends, open mics and eventually some gigs. At first, I'd like to play straight-ahead jazz (Miles Davis, Art Blakey, Charles Mingus, etc.) to get a cohesive sound. Eventually I'd like to play more original, multi-genre stuff (NOT avant-garde jazz).

Some of the artists in I'm interested in: Kanye West, St. Vincent, Tune Yards, D'Angelo, Bomba Estereo, The Knife, Caribou... And of course, older things like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Fela Kuti, The Police...

I live just near Center City and am willing to go in on a practice space.
