The title of this post doesn’t denote that I’m giving you short notice about a jazz event – Short Notice Jazz is the name of the band I’m depping with this evening at Tap Social Movement in West Oxford (8pm – 10pm; free entry). As well as my six string Sei bass, I’m busting out my recently acquired mic (Shure Beta 58A for those who care about such details) and singing lead on a couple of tunes as well. I’ve done plenty of singing and playing in a church context and also backing vox in a number of bands but rarely am I featured as the singer so I think I’ll be deserving of some of Tap Social’s well-regarded craft beer by the end of it.
And, yes, with less than six hours to go, I suppose this does count as short notice, too!
