Overview
Bring your original music or arrangements, develop new material on the spot, or simply come together as if on a neighbor's front porch and let's practice, collaborate, improvise, and enjoy what we love to do: play music!

Background
The New York scene, as well as Chicago, New Orleans and other places, has long been known for it's famous after-hours jam sessions. Often musicians, singers and songwriters, having just gotten off work or having worked late the night before and just gotten up, would show up at certain Venues and, whether based on a chart or an agreed chord progression, JAM.

House musicians (like Thelonious Monk) and bands like the Grateful Dead have became famous in part or in whole by essentially "jamming." And everyone from Eric Clapton to the Red Hot Chili Peppers still regularly jam and improvise.

About Me
Many of you know me or know of me by now. I have been in almost every music Venue in South Florida over the past four years and have taken pictures or video of your performances or simply purchased your music or showed appreciation for your play. I am a music connoisseur who Trumpeter/Producer Matt Jordan, Musician/Producer Orly Penate and others have nicknamed as both the South Florida Ambassador and the South Florida Music Ambassador because of my love and promotion of South Florida and South Florida Singers, Musicians and Songwriters. And many of you also know that I play more local Artists on my RJSRadio.com station than any other radio station in South Florida.

Conclusion
So come and help me create a place for you, for us, by getting together each [day of week?], as often as you can, and recreating the Jam Session as it must have been in the 40s and 50s: a place where soloists work out new material, amateurs play along side seasoned professionals, and everybody has a good time. Let's make this stage, this room, this place, at least on [day of week?] nights, our "Musicians Front Porch."

Benefits and Details
These sessions are open to the public and will be heavily promoted to increase both Musician participation and Musician Fan Bases. All sessions will be broadcast LIVE over the RJSInternational.TV internet station and recorded for possible release to the public through various media such as YouTube, Google, and possibly CDs. All participating Musicians will have access to audio and video clips in which they have performed for whatever use they see fit.

    "I recently moved to the area with my 2 favorite basses and a small amp. I haven't sat in on a jam in quite some time, but south FL seems to be the place for it. I play most rock styles, but pretty much everything aside from funk and acid jazz."
