An open jazz combo jam for instrumentalists. You will need to know most of your major scales well from memory as a starting point.

(If the group gets big enough, maybe we will have a second meeting time per month for you. Until then, this is for inexperienced improvisers.) We …

It is often challenging for those of us who don't drink to find opportunities and venues where we can socialize with like minded individuals. This g …
