Tim Carey Quartet at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Electric bassist Tim Carey has always had a unique approach to his instrument, and a versatile one at that. He has been seen in a multiplicity of musical circumstances on stages around town, most notably in recent times as the bassist of the Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto, and Kate Olson's quartet. On this evening, Carey takes the helm behind his 6-string electric, teaming up with pianist / keyboardist Jake Sele, drummer Kyle Doran and double bassist Chris Symer. The two bass coniguration is unusual, but not unprescedented in jazz. Coltrane employed a two bass approach, though utilizing two acoustic instruments. With Carey's six string electric approach at times approximating that of a guitarist, Symer's presence frees him up to play beyond the expected responsibilities of the bass per se. The band will perform Carey originals, as well arrangements of some favorite standards. http://seattlejazzfellowship.org...
