One of the most profound and lasting impacts that the late Gene Harris had on the Boise community was his presence at local jam sessions. Gene could be found downtown every night playing with students in a jam session setting. Gene would patiently accompany them as they experienced the living American art form of jazz, as he and the other great jazz masters had learned. This type of experience is becoming increasingly rare among the formative experiences of jazz students worldwide.Join us to celebrate and continue this long-running tradition. Students and community members from around the Treasure Valley are encouraged to come and jam with a local professional rhythm section.
Jam nights are free and open to the public. All you need to bring is your own instrument and/or voice.
