April Post

Born: May 6, 1950

Studied Music at College of Marin, where I started a Vocal Jazz Class. I live In Mill Valley, in Marin County, but the location finder wouldn't let me enter that, so Santa Rosa is closest. I sing a large selection of work from the Great American Songbook, some latin and pop. I enjoy improvising and can scat horn-style lines in any jam. I have a good understanding of both jazz and classical music theory and I read music well. I am looking to connect with instrumentalists in my area, to jam and to build a pool of friends to play gigs.
