Please join us on the back patio every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month for two hours of live jazz music performed by local professional musicians to accompany your food and libations. 

Now in its second year, the bi-monthly jam session serves as a musical meeting place for local jazz musicians and aims to provide a necessary space for jazz to exist in our community for both the listener and the musician. Join Duncan Shipton and his trio for a set of jazz standards and other selections from the American Songbook, the second set features a cadre of local invited musicians.

Schedule:

5:30 to 6:00First set - Jazz on the Rocks House Band
6:15 to 6:45 Break for Musicians
6:30 to 7:30 House Band + Invited Musicians

If you would like to bring an instrument and sit in please contact a house band member ahead of time and be respectful of these Jam Guidelines:

1. The bandstand is a space for communication, respect, and deep learning.
2. As musicians we are here for the music AND the audience, they are our patrons, be sensitive to their listening needs.
3. If there are numerous horn players on stage, please keep solos short to allow room for other musicians to perform.
4. When playing with a vocalist, keep your solos to 1-2 choruses maximum.
5. No I-Real/Real Books on stage. The goal is to come together and play songs we know. Please learn the changes at home and use your ears on stage, not your eyes.
