Event Description

Building on the success of previous jam sessions, we are presenting more local talent in a similar setting this week. Join us this week at the Salmon Arm Jazz Club to hear the area’s finest jazz musicians engage in this age-old tradition. The evening will be hosted by our house band, with performers to be announced as showtime approaches.
The jam session—or "Blowin’ Session" as it is referred to in Johnny Griffin’s 1957 Blue Note album by that name—is an essential part of the jazz tradition. Throughout the history of jazz, players have engaged in these informal musical events to blow off steam, sharpen their improvisational skills, and prove themselves amongst their peers. Late night jam sessions amongst musicians like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Bud Powell at the Harlem jazz club Minton’s Playhouse are often cited as playing a critical role in the development of Bebop. The average jam may not be as monumental as these historic sessions, but the tradition of the “Blowin’ Session” is indispensable in the development of all jazz practitioners.
ADMISSION: By donation.
CONCESSION: Coffee, tea and treats are also available by donation.
DOORS: Open at 6:30 pm
