Jazz is an improvised art form and jam sessions have been a staple of jazz since the beginning. We highly encourage guests to come see what great musicians sound like when they get together sometimes for the first time and jam.
Every night jazz musicians and their audiences go at it for the first time. It doesn’t matter how the song was done before. Today is different and new. It is the creative process incarnate.
Winton Marsalis says, “Jazz celebrates life. Human life. All life, The range of it. And it deals with it.
Drummer, Art Blakey said, Jazz washes away the dust on everyday life
