Hi Kris. Remember me? We had conversations many years back about the Roland GR-300... I have built my looping setup almost entirely with the intention of doing jazz standards, maybe you can get some ideas from it: http://www.marksmart.net/gearhack/jazzpedalboard/jazzpedalboard.html I'm in the middle of totally rebuilding this setup since I just bought an Echoplex. I've been working up some more tunes using its added capabilites. The most recent one is Wes Montgomery's "West Coast Blues". I love the 'Plex!. I can make three loops for this song, one for the four-measure vamp on the Tadd Dameron-type turnaround, one for the head, and a third for soloing with the additional chromatic ii-V's like he plays on the recording. I use a 3/4 brush loop from the Peter Erskine sample CD for the drums. Unfortunately, I can't offer much in the way of advice about getting gigs because that's definitely not my strong point. I've only done a couple of gigs with the existing setup, but my intention was to go manily for gigs at restaurants, bookstores, and other places where they want low-volume music. I dunno if bars that normally have jazz groups would want some tech-head with a bunch of pedals! But I intend to try and see how it goes. Mark Smart http://www.marksmart.net/
