Jazz Jam in Redmond at SoulFood Coffeehouse - Last Thursday edition

Come and connect around appreciation of the great Black American art form! The SoulFood Coffeehouse jazz jam is a casual, all-ages gathering, open to the public. Join in on stage or hang out and listen along.

John Roth will host and play bass, accompanied by Brad Benefield (g), Mark Vayman (k) and Doug Kleiber (d). The opening set will feature saxophonist Brian Bermudez!

Rules of the road for the Soul Food Jazz Jam:
It's a low key, open format session. There's no sign-up list, just be sure to personally introduce yourself to John or raise a hand from the audience. We start with a short opening set then invite performers to take turns onstage, including rhythm section players. The typical material tends to be Real Book and American songbook standards. There's a mic available for singers - please bring charts for particular songs and keys.

Thanks to SoulFood Coffeehouse, Lauren and staff for offering the comfy, intimate venue along with fine coffee, refreshments and tasty treats.

Please be advised that the City of Redmond has established and is enforcing a 2-hour parking limit along the street at Soul Food, Snapdoodle Toys and Ben Franklin. Beware.

6pm to 8pm (closing).
