Looking For

I'm looking for fellow musicians or projects who are into making uncompromised music, to further it as an art form and not just a form of entertainment for people who are not really listening.

Bio

I grew up in the lively music scene in Manila, and learned how to play by 'ambushing' the big name artists who came in during the height of the jazz resurgence of the 70's and 80's. I started playing in various bands in Manila and worked as a session musician, til my move to Europe... first in Germany then to France where I led my own trio and Quartet. I now live on the island of Mallorca off the coast of Barcelona and would really like to find like minded people to make music with.
