What we’re about
This is a hang for jazz musicians who want to take their playing to the next level in a supportive environment of like-minded peers.
Jazz is community music. If you want to get good at it, you need to get out and play with others!
Not finding many outlets to gain this valuable experience, I created this group for us to help each other grow our skills.
The main focus is on jam sessions, but we'll also get together for live shows, or just hang out and share our love for jazz.
Looking forward to playing with you!

Please join me in jazzing it up in honor of my late cat, Chopin, who passed on to Kitty Heaven too soon and too young. Let's celebrate our special relationships that start with hellos, followed by inevitable goodbyes, and the tender memories that remind us that they were all worth it. 🌺
