Looking for (amateur) Chicago musicians

[Larry Goldfinger <lgo338...>]

     A friend and I are looking for amateur musicians living in the 
Chicagoland area, who would like to play some klezmer music for casual fun, 
and maybe see where it goes from there.  Both of us have played primarily 
classical and jazz, and we are just now starting to learn how to play in the 
klezmer style, as well as learning the repertoire.  He (Burt) plays bass, 
clarinet, tenor sax, piano and tuba, and I play clarinet, alto and tenor 
sax, and piano.  I should stress that we are AMATEURS who just want to play 
for fun, and we'd like to play both standards and originals.  Our focus 
seems to be playing straight klezmer, as well as mixing influences of 
straight-up, free and avant garde jazz, funk, whatever fits!  If you are 
interested, send me an e-mail.  Thanks.
