Join us at Smith's, upstairs or down, every Tuesday night for a jazz jam lead by respected local saxophonist John Mackey.
The jam will consist of two parts:
6.30-7.30pm – Open jam designed for our talented community musos
7.30-9.30pm – Pro jam for our talented ANU students, staff and professional musos.
Instrumentalists and singers, talented newcomers are welcome to join in, but a certain level of professionalism is expected. Singers, for example, please provide chord sheets if the piece is in a non-standard key. Entry is free (a pot will be passed around to help cover costs), but this is no boozy gabfest. Please come prepared to listen and enjoy and keep conversation sotto voce.
