New York Style Jazz Jam, fills a gap for more experienced jazz musicians ready to lead the band, extend their improvising over multiple choruses, and to try tunes not necessarily on the usual jam list, and to play for a live jazz audience. New York jazz jams are interactive performance events with musicians stretching, exploring common jazz language/rhythm. We’re not New York jazzers, but following this format, Next Steps Jazz Jams are curated, with prearranged set lists based on tunes chosen by participants, keys are agreed in advance, and music provided, available in advance to avoid discussion on the bandstand, enable speedy changeovers & to create as much spontaneously interactive playing time as possible. A meeting place for jazz musicians at keen to progress their journey into jazz, and an opportunity to hear jazz standards and contemporary jazz.
Audience: no need to book, please support your local jazz community.
Musicians: Message us to book your place on the set list : @NextStepsJazzQuartet.
Frontline instrumentalists and singers: please book 1-2 tunes individually or in pairs as soon as possible & definitely by 25th October, and let us know key and form, which Real Book, as appropriate. Mark as open if you’re happy to have another player join you.
Rhythm Section Players: To take the lead, & definitely play things you know, please book by 25th October as above. To sit in please check the set lists and music from 18th September. Let us know the tunes you’d like to play, and solo over in preference order 1-3. Please make sure you know form and feel, and have some familiarity with the changes: as Christian McBride says - ‘you’ve got one job’ - supporting the soloist, we’re inviting all to players to stretch out on their jazz journeys, a little preparation opens much more interactive playing.
Pay as you feel collection. Doors 7.30, Music 8.00 - 10.30, 3 sets: Next Steps Jazz Quartet, 2 sets sitters in Quartet only solos for textural, musical reasons and time.
