These guys are amazing!

It takes great leadership to keep a community organization growing and flourishing. At Spokane Jazz Orchestra, we have the best. Board of Trustees President Kevin Berkompas (left) and Music Director Dr. Don Goodwin have led SJO through good times and COVID times, and it is better than ever.

Hope to see you May 11 for the final concert of this season with guest artist Wayne Horvitz, keyboardist extraordinaire. Tickets: https://tinyurl.com/sjo5-24

Where are our guitar players out there?

Hey everybody,

The Daddies are holding auditions for a guitar player in Eugene, Oregon on the evening of April 10. This position is somewhat challenging in our band as we have multiple aspects to our music. Our main bread and butter is Swing music (which to us cuts across the entire swath of 20th C popular jazz - in fact some of our songs even utilize a 4 string jazz banjo). Secondly, we are active in the Ska/Punk, Pop Rock & Funk genres. We are recording a new record right now (20 songs!) in this vein.

This position requires a specialized rhythm guitar skank feel which is notoriously difficult for even the best guitarists to sound good playing. A touch of familiarity with crunchy Funkadelic and tasteful funk playing would be super helpful as well. Thirdly, we play a side order of rockabilly/ psychobilly, so some familiarity with rockabilly would be a plus (we have tunes slated for a future record that will be broadly punk-a-billy). If you can sing harmony and might be willing to play/learn a few tunes on a 4 string jazz banjo, bonus points! We will try to reflect all of those feels in the 5 or so tunes we choose for the auditions.

The band is based out of Eugene, Oregon with several members living in Portland, Oregon. We play nationally mostly and occasionally internationally. We have been a band since late 1988, but even though we are a double platinum selling band with a long track record, our new material has never been better. It’s going to be very cool for someone musically ambitious, as well as a good rhythm player, to be a part of this. Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you wanna take a shot or have any questions hit us up in the DM’s and we will get you the tunes and a time slot.
