What we’re about

A DC Area community of musicians with an interest in Gypsy Jazz. Since starting this group I have met many musicians who love this type of music. Many of them had attempted to play this style years ago but stopped because they could not find others to play Gypsy Jazz with. If that describes you or if you just recently got the bug to play Gypsy Jazz, then this group is for you.
We have weekly jams on most Monday night of the year. The Monday night Jams are located at either the VFW in Takoma Park or at the Brookmont Church in Bethesda. Recently we have been experimenting with a monthly Sunday afternoon jam. We now have a few different organizers and hope to expand the places we are having gypsy jazz jams. We are open to having gypsy jazz jams out in various places in Virginia, Maryland, and the DC areas.

Gypsy Jazz Jam acoustic in Leesburg, VA
Sun, Jan 18 · 5:00 PM EST
Photoworks, 2 Loudoun St SW # A, Leesburg, VA, US
Let's meet up and have an acoustic gypsy jazz jam! There is a nice quiet studio space on the third floor of Photoworks and the owner of Photoworks (Neil) will let us use the space. He has folding chairs there. There is a a parking garage that is free on weekends almost right next to the store, so parking is way easy. I am hoping that an early evening on a Sunday will work well for a number of folks. I am open to doing a Wednesday evening or other times that might work well for folks in upcoming events. We can also explore other venues and locations. A local bar also said I could use their restaurant on a Sunday afternoon or evening or a mid week evening for a possible future jam session. Step one is meeting up and getting to talk and play some music and then we can discuss what works for folks best etc after we see each other. Hope lots of y'all can make it. My personal email address is Taraworlds@gmail.com. I am not awesome at using the meetup platform for communicating quite yet. If you want my cell phone number and plan to come and want it in case of questions email me ahead of time and I can give it to you. I will not be checking emails that day. Looking forward to lots of friend making and music making. :)
