What songs will they play?
All of me
On the sunny side of the street

Ain’t misbehavin
It don’t mean a thing
Honeysuckle Rose
I got rhythm
Stompin at the Savoy
Satin doll
I can’t give you anything but love
Exactly like you
After you’ve gone
In a mellow tone
I’m confessin’
Take five
Dream a little dream
Easy does it
Cheek to cheek
Dinah
Lullaby of bird land
There will never be another you
Will there be a bar & food?
I’ve never been in a jazz jam before
– can I join as a beginner?
- Yes!
I don’t tap, can I join as a singer?

As a beginner musician?
- Definetly! We encourage everybody on every level and any instrument to join the jam.
Also as a professional?

What if I don’t want to join?
