Jamagain

I am somewhat overwhelmed by processing and Wesley Holy Week recordings and more but I managed an evening at the Smiths jazz jam.  I caught up with a friend I'd not seen in jazz contexts and played for a least a few tunes with the band.  Perhaps jams go this way, but the players were all the same as I remember from the last jam there and interestingly several singers so several ballads.  I find the singers tens to define the music that gets played.  Singing is, after all, the most immediate and personal for of music making, and there were some decent singers.  And guitars, horns, interestingly, a range of percussion.  Not quite a drum circle but a rhythmic feels even if with no latin tunes that I remember.  Whatever, it was fun.

Jazz jams are held at Smith weekly on Tuesdays.
