Welcome to the home of my solo instrument recordings. This is the site for the solo and jazz band work of myself, Jake Posega. I've been playing the electric bass for over two years now, so that's mostly what you'll hear here, as well as 5 new tracks from the Keweenaw Area Jazz Band.
I've been playing the electric bass for over two years, and have been at the trombone for around 7 years. I also dabble on acoustic and electric guitar, as well as keyboards and tuba.
I have not played the electric bass live as a solo instrument, however I do frequently play with the Keweenaw Area Jazz Band, as well as the Hancock High School bands live.
I love the vibe you get from being on stage, it's so fulfulling knowing your message is being heard, and you're delivering it in person.
My favorite moment was being awarded a Certificate for Outstanding Musicianship at the Univ. of Wisconsin - Eau Claire Jazz Festival this past spring for a solo I performed in the jazz band. It was quite an honor.
I'll just list my tops: Primus, Black Sabbath, C2B3, Metallica, Slayer, Audioslave, RATM, Jaco Pastorius, and much, much more. It ranges from acoustic folk, to screaming death metal, to jazz.
