I played guitar for the Eastside Jazz Collective, starting in 2017 until I took a sabbatical in 2023, that I never returned from. The group went on without guitar, and disbanded in 2024. This entire endeavor was chill based on the people in the group. We played 2-4 times a month, with some months / time off when our schedules conflicted because everyone in the group does musical theater productions. Many times, we're working together there so couldn't book the EJC.
