I'm wondering, from the bass player and band's POV, what they will be looking for and expecting to hear.
I was thinking of asking for the standards we are doing and figuring it out from there. But I don't want to embarrass myself since it's been five years since playing with anyone.
I know it's very loose, funky and swinging at times from listening to records. Stay away from too many fills and playing on top of the beat. There's also the over-the-barline feels and displacement, esp. the funk.
Any advice on top of those basics? For whatever reason, this situation sounds extremely intriguing to me. Like I've been practicing all of these years to do something like this. It takes a very tasteful drummer to do it, I'm worried.
