How do I look like a real smooth jazz player?

[NoiseNinja]

I thought we missed this one to go with the "How can I look metal thread?"

I play smooth jazz so smooth frozen butter melts into liquid cream when exposed to my smooth bass tones, but how will my look do the same to butter?

 

[Marial]

Pleats. BIG pleats. Probably some shoulder pads in your soft-serve sport jacket with the sleeves rolled up a little. No socks?

I don't really know, just ask "What Would Kenny G Wear?"

 

[timber22]

Some kind of "artsy" hat. Maybe a beret or a porkpie.

 

[twinjet]

A tie and dark glasses. Definitely need the pork-pie hat.

Black button up shirt. Sleeves casually rolled. Slim, but flowy pants. Shiny shoes. VERY neat goatee. Slightly stoned looking soft eyes. Look at pictures of Mark Sandman. Practice being that cool. You gotta get it juuuuuust right.

But... most importantly, have an "I dont care how I look to you" attitude.

You are from Denmark so you will require numerous applications of the darkest tan-in-can you can buy.

 

[kikstand454]

Act like you couldn't care 'bout such things in the least.......but in reality, care about others oppinions entirely too much.

 

[Thumpinshelton]

All leather....



But, in all seriousness. It really depends on the gig. I have worn tuxedos, suits, slacks/shirt, jeans/shirt, and even the taboo shorts with matching shirts (band leader picked out and actually really nice outfits for beach/pool side gigs). Usually the artist or BL gives the direction for dress code for each gig.

you need a smooth jazz suit

No sound clips----- no sound. We need sound clips.

@john m

I think this sounds pretty smooth

At least it is jazz.

And if my bass play won't melt butter, I am sure my vocals would, even though I doubt it would be due to it's smoothness

By the way it's all programmed, played and recorded by me (including the sort of rhythm guitar/percussion loop).

Even clipped together a real video for it, although I can't take credit for the actual shots:

Whatever Nathan East is wearing, wear that.

 

[Gaolee]

Polyester. It is the fabric for all occasions.

Oh brother!......you should think about doing some Barry White
