Smith's Jazz Jam - Angela & Leo, the Workshop
Advertisement
Join us at Smith's, upstairs or down, every Tuesday night for a jazz jam lead by a variety of luminaries from the local scene. This week's jam will be lead by Angela Lount and Leo Joseph and will take the form of a workshop...
The 28 July Jazz Jam at Smith’s will try something a little different. The hosts performing the opening set will be Angela Lount and Leo Joseph. They are going to play just three tunes: It Had To Be You, Girl From Ipanema, and All of Me.
The idea is that Angela and Leo will run through each song a few times, each time pointing out different aspects of how a group, whether it be duo, trio, quartet or more, can work together to lend some structure to a song and at the same time maybe note a few things that don’t work so well.
After giving a few pointers on those sorts of topics, the jazz jammers will be asked to play those songs and to try and put into practice some of the tips and advice from the opening set about how to bring out the best of the song.
Looking forward to seeing you all on 28 July.
Instrumentalists and singers, experts and talented amateurs, all are welcome to join us on Tuesday nights for an open jam. Each week selected luminaries from the local scene will get the jam going. if you’d like to run a jam, please email Smith’s at [email protected].
Backline provided: Drums, piano, guitar and bass amp, double bass, vocal mics.
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.
