About Mr. Madera:
Born in New York City, son of Jose "Pin" Madera, who was the first arranger for the Machito Orchestra, Jose spent 31 years with the Tito Puente Orchestra. While there, he served as a percussionist and later went on to become a musical arranger and the musical director of the Orchestra. He has written many arrangements for countless commercial Latin artists and has recorded or worked with many of them as well. Some of them include: Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, Chico O'farill, The Lincoln Center Afro-Cuban jazz orchestra, Celia Cruz, Tito Rodriguez, Fania All-Stars, Willie Colon, Joe Farrell, Machito, Graciela, Mario Bauza, Willie Rosario, Earl Klughand Eddie Palmieri, just to name a few. Jose has also worked and recorded with many pop, R&B and jazz artists. Some of them include Diana Ross, James Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Paquito D'Rivera, George Benson and Lionel Hampton among others. Mr. Madera has performed on over 250 recordings. He has worked on several! television show soundtracks, the most recent being: "The Simpsons" and several motion picture soundtracks, the most recent being "The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love," where he was the musical arranger and conductor for the Tito Puente segment of the film. Jose also taught the art of playing Latin percussion instruments at BOYS HARBOR in New York City for 28 years. He is currently a Latin Percussion Company endorser/artist and has done and continues to do musical clinics around the country at various schools. He was the musical director of the Latin Giants of Jazz from 2001 to 2009. Jose continues his musical direction with a band comprised of former members of the Tito Puente Orchestra, which is dedicated to performing new creative Latin and Latin jazz concepts, as well as some of the music of Machito, Tito Rodriguez and Tito Puente. Mr. Madera has personally recreated and re-arranged much of the music that those bands performed during the heyday of the mambo at the Palladium Ballroom in New York City, considered by many critics to be the "Greatest and most innovative Era" in the history of Latin music.

I accept students of all ages and all abilities. I teach young children using the Shirley Givens Method, and use a combination of methods, including my own, to teach older students. Each lesson is tailored to fit the individual student's learning style.
I have helped many experienced professional players improve their technical foundations and improvisational vocabulary - if you feel there's an area of your playing you'd like to improve, we can work on it!
Lessons are $40/hour or $25/half-hour. Please email davenion@taarka.com or call 360-390-8606 to find out more and set up your first lesson.
I'm a new worship leader over at a Bridge Church in Brighton who is looking for musicians of any level to help with the praise and worship on Sunday mornings. It is only one service and our typical set is 6 songs. This is a new and very small church so it is hard to find musicians to play consistantly, especially drummers and bass players. I have much experience playing almost every instrument on stage of a typical worship band so I can help musicians with little experience learn new skills for worship if needed. These are not really paid positions, but I may buy you lunch on occasion and this is a great way to get experience playing on stage and serving the church. The church is fairly laid back and makes for a very laid back and non-threatening atmosphere.
If you're interested, please email me back at the above email address or call me at 720-280-7166 after 6pm on weekdays. Please state the instrument you play and how often you're willing to play. Once a month is fine, but I'm hoping for some consistancy and we may even be able to get you in this week if you're available. There is a definite need in this church for better music especially at this time so any help you can offer is greatly appreciated.
If you are interested, please send us the following:
-A review of the most recent album you bought (or downloaded). 300 words.
-A review of the most recent live show you attended. 500 words.
-Your top ten favorite records.
-What you are interested in writing about.
I am looking for musicians that are very influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, Ministry and Rammstein. Musicians must be extremely open minded! To other styles of music but mainly thrash metal.
If you think you might fit any of these positions email me at
We are delighted to announce that we will be accepting more students for the start of the 09-10 school year!
If this is your first time considering lessons, or even if you are looking to continue lessons after a hiatus, we would really encourage you to do so!
Music Education has been slowly slipping away in our public schools due to budget cuts and students' test-taking emphasis... Thus, we have to do everything we can to ensure that music remains an integral part of our youngsters lives, and moreover, our OWN lives to maintain that example.
We cater our lessons to suit the needs of every student- we have taught every age from 4 to 84! We will consult with each student and/or parent to figure out what type of instruction will be best for him or her.
Most lessons will include a combination of music theory (learning to read and understand musical notation), repertoire (common musical selections for particular instrument), and performance practice (learning how to perform with confidence and professionalism). We encourage each of our students to perform in recitals, either public or private for one's family, and continue the art of sharing music!
The studio is located conveniently at Calvary Baptist Church of Denver, 6500 E. Girard Ave. Denver, CO 80224. Here we have access to rooms, space, pianos, and our 30-rank McManis pipe organ.
Rates: $25/half hour; $45/hour.
Please consider this great opportunity for you, your child, or someone you know to continue learning about the wonderful gift of music!

I'm looking for people who are passionate and serious about playing music, and are ready to put time and energy into getting something really good going. That will include practicing at least twice a week, writing new songs together, recording, playing shows in town at least once or twice a month, and eventually travelling to play shows and touring when we are ready.

Have practice space on south side of Denver. You must have gear (although I have a banjo/mando/tenor/fiddle as well to share as needed)/transportation/decent working attitude/all vices fairly under control.
Live sound will be a bit less string band for now, a bit more Crazy Horse/Magnolia Elec. Co ish. But still want some traditional influences to make it a raucous bar band but be able to play quieter joints too.
Contact Adam via email or one of these with any questions/interest/curses.
Smaller kits preferred, it's country/traditional/blues influenced music and not rocket science. Need some dynamic though, some mild brush skills, ability to swing things a bit and improvise/input. Ability to play any other instruments a plus.

If you can, please provide information about yourself such as a MySpace personal or band profile, mp3's of your voice, and pictures if you have any.
We're a weekend warrior Country cover band about ready to start playing local bars. We’ll focus on danceable old / alt / new (but good) Country songs, with a little Rockabilly and Soul thrown in. Ideally, all members of the band will have considerable performance experience but also a career outside of music. You’ll be joining some great players:
A formally trained male singer with 15+ years experience including performance in major venues. He'll strum the acoustic most of the time too.
A lead guitarist also formally trained with 15+ years experience in bands of various styles
A pedal steel guitarist with an amazing ear and strong classic country repetoir
A highly experienced drummer that knows what to do with a minimal kit.
We’re all around 30, have families and careers, but live music is where it’s at, so we need to fill that void.
The goal is to rehearse consistently once a week and play out 1-2 times per month. We’re about to start booking short gigs while we build the rest of a full length setlist, but we need a bassist to complete the sound.
As the Bassist, you:
Must be comfortable with a Country rhythm section role (hold down the bottom end and keep the groove with the drummer)
Upright player would be awesome, but this is not a requirement
Must have a job and a stable life situation
Must not use drugs
Must have transportation and be willing to move equipment for gigs
Must have good sounding, reliable equipment appropriate for small venue performance
Must practice and learn songs on their own
Know that “Rehearsal” is for tightening the band, not learning their individual parts
Must play for fun and have fun playing, but not be content with a sloppy sounding band
Basically, you need to have an attitude and work ethic as if you were a full-time player
Of course, like with any band, backing vocals are a plus
We’d like to maintain a marketable image appropriate for the genre, so you should be fairly clean-cut and be mid-20’s to late 30’s in age. Age is not a show stopper though, if you have the right attitude.
If you’ve gotten this far and are still interested, shoot me an email with a little info about yourself, your style, and a recording (or website) of your playing. I’ll give you a few songs to learn and we can get together in a week or so and jam for a little bit.
We are 26-35
Only thing we really ask for is that your open minded and dont have an ego, well not too much of an ego.
We prefer you to be 21+ (due to the age limits for playing most places)
Out to have fun and play METAL!!
So if you think you interested shoot us an email johnyfysh@floodofsouls.com and we can set things up.
Serving Thornton, Northglenn, Westminster, North Denver, & Broomfield
