Description

Let's get together and play jazz standards every week!

We'll play authentic interpretations of jazz standards, modern tunes from the text “the Jazz Canvas,” and any original compositions by band members.
Since it’s a small group, there will be plenty of opportunity to solo and improvise.
There will be dedicated rehearsal time to practice soloing on each tune.

All instrument welcome!
