Looking for good drummerless trio in Orlando, FL area for gigs in early June

OK, here's something odd for you:

I will be in Orlando in early June and I'm looking for some very good professional jazz musicians to play a few corporate gigs on June 1st and 3rd. What I'm looking for is preferably a drummerless trio with horn (preferably tenor), guitar and bass with a bit of an old-school vibe (gut strings on the bass would be a bonus).

The one catch to this is that for the first of these gigs and possibly (but unlikely) also the last, I will be the bassist and will want to use your bass and rig (you can be there if you want or drop the stuff off and come back).

On June 1st: There will be a 45 minute gig around 1 PM. This is one I will play bass at. There's actually very little playing in this as it is mostly a demonstration during which I will speak a lot but the playing is still an essential part of it.

In the evening there will be a 2 hour gig beginning at 6 PM. Need a full trio here.

On June 3rd there will be another 2 hour evening gig. It is likely we will need a full trio here however it is also possible I may want to play bass at this. It depends on my plans as I have to be back in Canada for a gig the next day that I absolutely cannot miss.

These gigs will pay very well but I absolutely must have very good, sensitive, flexible, easy-to-work, nice people who know a bunch of tunes and can shake things up and play things in a variety of styles and tempos and even if necessary, they must be able to play a bit of free jazz with sensitivity. I know it all sounds pretty weird. If you're interested or know that you think I should speak to in the area, please E-MAIL me through the TB e-mail (not PM) feature.

Update: The "letting me play your bass" part is not entirely necessary but would be good. Otherwise I have to go rent a bass somewhere...

Thanks.

You might want to sound Mike Ross over in Tampa/St. Pete. There's also somebody who posts as "larry" here who was pretty open to trying to let me borrow his bass, but we couldn't make the gigs line up so that it could happen. he's in Orlando...

Just an update on this - Mike Ross (thanks Ed) put me onto another guy who I have reached out to. Apart from that I'm finding at least remotely and via Google, MySpace, TB, and The Jazz Network, etc. that the scene down there seems to be a lot smaller than expected. And not a lot of straight ahead stuff but lots of pop, smooth jazz, latin, etc.
