Created and administered by Music Hall education director, Scott Gwinnell, jamming musicians of all ages are encouraged to use this experience to work on skills like collaboration, communication, improvisation, repertoire building, as well as to network and socialize with other musicians.

Aretha's Jazz Cafe's Sunday evening education-themed jam has, for about a decade, served as Detroit’s hub for jazz musicians to learn their craft in a guided, safe, all-ages environment. Created and administered by Music Hall education director, Scott Gwinnell, jamming musicians of all ages are encouraged to use this experience to work on skills like collaboration, communication, improvisation, repertoire building, as well as to network and socialize with other musicians. Jamming musicians can choose to receive assistance from the house trio of jazz educators or to simply create their own experience without guidance. As important as the jam session is to jazz musicians, it is also very entertaining to an audience. With no cover charge, plethora of food and drink options, and three hours of music between 7-10pm on Sunday nights, listeners are also treated to an amalgam of groups from middle school students to professionals in various configurations.
