Dewey Hall presents Jazz Jams
Jazz lovers, jazz musicians, instrumentalists, and vocalists are welcome at this event! Jazz jams will be hosted and facilitated by local jazz musicians Luke Franco and feature a house band (trio or quartet). March’s edition will feature Wanda Houston.
Inspired by the storied, genre defining, open jazz jams from the formative era of jazz music, we will hold a monthly open jazz jam to unite members of the region’s vibrant musical community, inspiring new connections across a diverse range of skill levels, often pairing professional musicians with budding talent.
Jazz Jams were at the center of many of the innovations in jazz music. Musicians would meet after gigs ended to play into the night with others. These early jazz jams are at the center of the creation of Bebop music, offering young players like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie the priceless opportunity to play with jazz icons such as Ben Webster & Lester Young.
How to participate:
Musicians: Bring your instruments or voice to join the "Open Jam". Rotate in on stage after the house band kicks off the night.
Jazz Lovers: Enjoy an evening of improvisational jazz with professional performers and up-and-coming local talent.
Jazz Jams are supported in part by the Local Cultural Councils of Lee, Mount Washington, Sheffield, and New Marlborough.
