What I'm looking for:

I'm not currently in a band and I want to keep musically active.  I'd like to meet other musicians online and record tunes for fun -covers or originals (either jazz standards or funk/rock stuff).  I'd be particularly interested in collaborating with drummers and horn players.  My main instrument is bass, but I can also do some rhythm work on guitar.
