Anyone here into Nu-Jazz, Medeski Martin & Wood, maybe St Germain? Acid Jazz (not the poppy stuff, the groovy stuff)

Sort of vamp-y, acessible faux-jazzy, funky & urban...deep grooves, heavy on feel etc

Is anyone in victoria doing this currently?

looking for a bass player?

or want to get something going?

I'm thinking:
- keys (ep, rhodes, hammond, whatever)
- bass
- guitar
- vocals
- damn solid drums

post here & I'll contact you... - Tue, 24 Oct 2006 5:31pm Edited: Tue, 24 Oct 2006 5:32pm

Kaitie Sly has been honing her musical talents since the age of eight. One of the original students of the Lebeau-Petersen Productions music academy, she has the professional training required for a proper base to cover many musical genres.

Together with three other dedicated students, the young rock band, Scottish Fish was formed in 1996, where Kaitie covered the keyboards, flute and vocals for 6 years. It was gigging with this quartet that developed the performing abilities and stage leadership that she has today. Sly performed on the educational film: Kids Talk Diabetes, with the Scottish Fish, which won the Freddy Award in New York City in 2001.

In 2002, Kaitie was awarded the bass anchor position in the Vic High R&B Band. Under the tutorage of Eric Emde, she has learned about the hard work and dedication required to succeed in the music industry. Moreover, it was gigging with this band that allowed Miss Sly to sit in with the twelve piece showcase extravaganza, The Midnights.

Together with Aidan Knight, Kaitie helped formed the rock-pop band, Black Tie Social in 2003, where she played bass and sang back-up vocals. In 2005, Black Tie recorded an EP at Infinity Studios which helped them to play the Much Does Victoria gig in August, 2005, along-side bands like Kincaide, Kuba, Moka Only, and Current Swell.

Sly has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many great musical mentors namely Robbie King, April Gisleson, Steve Duban, Gene Hardy, Louise Rose, Anita Bonkowski, Connie Lebeau, Neils Petersen, Martha Reeves, The Swollen Members, Bill Johnson, Nick Blaskow, Rick May, Justin Hewitt, Paul Wainright, Ted Gowan, Al Hannigan, members of Jacksoul, KC Porter and many more.

In 2007, Kaitie created her own company, Steel Vibrations Inc. with which she does contract work in the music field, as well as in Visual Arts and Modelling.

Kaitie is currently implementing various projects with Steel Vibrations Inc. and playing with Mathew Christopher Davidson.

I play Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and Clavinet, but while I may like MMW I'm sure as hell not John Medeski. Still, I'd certainly be interested in jamming and seeing what happened... - Wed, 8 Nov 2006 10:10pm

An oud player? Rawk on. I've wanted to play with an Oud player ever since I got the new Club D'Elf album. (Bass, Drums, Oud, and everybody who is everybody as a guest star.) - Sat, 11 Nov 2006 6:11pm
