update: open for all instruments Trying out a new format - like the familiar pub/bar jam, everyone can call songs they'd like to play... - A chance to focus on more nuanced aspects of playing - listening, responding, communicating, building the sound together - Discussion and feedback encouraged - Attendee numbers limited so everyone gets plenty of playing time - Assumes basic ability to follow the form / accompany / improvise, and caters to those who are looking to challenge themselves beyond that - Usual relaxed friendly vibe Please sign up before attending **Tunes** Any tune you like, as long as it's familiar enough for the rhythm section to accompany you! Also best to assume you need to play the head, especially if it's not a well known tune... **Equipment** In both studios there is a piano, drum kit (no cymbals), bass and guitar amps, stands, and microphones. Drummers: please bring cymbals (or can be rented for £8) Look forward to it and feel free to get in touch with any questions Xie
