Monday night jazz jam

HARTFORD JAZZ SOCIETY'S MONDAY NIGHT JAM - Black-eyed Sally's - 350 Asylum Street - Downtown Hartford,
Monday, June 6, 2011 - 8 pm - 11 pm - FREE.

The primary purpose of this series is to give students (K-12 and college) a weekly opportunity to hone their artistry by performing onstage with experienced jazz musicians in an actual club setting. It is universally recognized that this kind of actual working experience is essential to the development of all jazz musicians.

Scheduled musicians play an opening set beginning at approximately 8:00 pm. Following an opening set, students are invited to sit in for a hard-blowing jam session sure to keep fans on the edge of their seats. This is an ideal opportunity for young musicians to challenge themselves and learn from the pros. Students are highly encouraged to attend both the opening set and the jam session. Please note that the jam sessions are not intended to be unstructured, "free for all" events but are carefully coordinated by a veteran musician to ensure the best learning experience.

Most Mondays, parking is readily available within a block or two. After 6:00 pm, metered on-street spaces are FREE. Cancellation of a Monday Night Jam due to inclement weather or a major holiday is always possible.
