Greetings!
I am a mature seasoned professional Jazz/Standards/Blues/Variety drummer based in Las Vegas. I am interested in finding work in the Jazz/ Blues circuit in Manila and surrounding regions. I have extensive experience w/Blues (Have toured nationally with several artists) and Jazz Standards. I also have extensive cruise ship experience. My most recent cruise contract was six months on Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines with a piano trio doing standards, Great American Songbook, and Tin Pan Alley repertoire. I am available to travel on fairly short notice and can stay for six months or more. Can provide a video (youtube) link upon request.
Any information that anyone can give me would also be greatly appreciated.

I thank you in advance,

Andrew

Its true. It's very limited and if you hope to find work to sustain you financially, forget it. The scene exists but it only does because musicians who love to play it, play because they want to sometimes for little or no money. most of the community gets together for regular jams but other than that, there's nothing.
