Silicon Valley teacher recommendation?

[Funkateer]

I'm looking for a good jazz-oriented teacher in Silicon Valley. Any recommendations? I am particularly interested in someone who has solid studio player skills. I.e quick ears, good reader, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hey man,

I used to take lessons from Joey Fabian, who taught out of Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto.

Joey was very nice and very knowledgeable; quite the rockin' jazz cat who has studied with Kai Eckhardt.

He currently plays with several bands, including the Barton Tyler Group, whose site is Link Removed

Joey's personal site, which contains his email address, is:

Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to give me a holler.
Cheers,
Jeb

Hey man,

Here's another possibility. The stuff below is taken from the teacher's Craigslist posting:

Are you a fan of jazz bass legends Ray Brown and Charlie Haden? Study with one of the few people to study with them both.
