Sorry, can't really help.
I don't really know exactly where Philly is.
Now if you were asking about Lower Hutt...

Maybe if I got my brother to come on in here he could help you out, he currently attends the university of the arts in philly, and gets jobs around there all the time playing jazz/gospel.

Mike-that would be much appreciated.

Richard-I should have just said "Philadelphia". Sorry for possibly being USA-centric.

Flint -

I've attended workshops at Temple University in Philly. There seem to be lots of good players there, that might be a place to start. I know one woman with a very established piano studio, if you want her email, PM me. I'm not sure what kind of scene you're looking for, though.

You're a jazz player, right? I remember on the TBDB forum another jazz player asked about the scene in Philly - he was into avant-garde, free jazz or something . . . try searching for that. (I see you've already done the work on TB - you're "chortle nut", right?)

FWIW, I've always liked that city - it seems to me to be the best combination of small city/big city I've ever encountered in the US. Reasonable cost of living, too. Parking is a problem though . . .

What kind of work did you get there, BTW?
