This jam happens every Thursday, outside on the terrace in nice weather and inside otherwise. A house rhythm section is usually provided.

The jam is really two distinct jams: early jazz from 4-5:15, and classic/ midcentury to modern jazz from 5:30-7.

The early jazz jam will include blues/ New Orleans/ early Tin Pan Alley: tunes that drew on earlier chord and melodic scripts. If you haven’t studied a lot of jazz, are just learning, or just love this era of music, this may be most interesting for you. It will be a looser jam than the later one.

Classic/mid-century jam 5:30-7 will be more open to musical suggestion but a with fewer solos and players per tune.
