Starting in 2016 the Sextet performances are switching to the 1st Fridays of the month, but at 1:00 – 2:30. (Except that in January, the 1st Friday will be New Years Day, so we’ll have it on January 8.)
The jam venue alternates between the Lincoln Library and Bemis Hall, A notice is always posted on the door of the other venue in case people go to the wrong one.

Every 3rd Saturday of the month from 1:00-5:00 pm a regular core of trad jazz lovers gathers in the elegant Tarbell Room in the Lincoln Library, with its great acoustics, to enjoy an afternoon of jamming and each others’ company. (Sometimes held at Bemis Hall if the Library is busy) http://youtu.be/0y7BVrlbjdg
We see it as a venue where everyone can enjoy playing together, whether they be amateurs looking for an opportunity to leave their lonely living rooms and play in an ensemble, or more professional musicians seeking to play more often in these days of fewer and fewer paid gigs, or audience members just wanting to enjoy listening to old time jazz. We aim to have everyone get fair playing time no matter what their level of musicianship, and for the audience to have a good time.

A series of live JAMborees in which local musicians will gather in informal jazz groups and play classic jazz. Several such groups will perform at each session so a great variety of jazz is sure to be heard. This format should prove to be great fun for both the musicians and the audience.
Jam session every 3rd Saturday afternoon from 2 – 5, alternating between Bemis Hall 15 Bedford Rd. and the Lincoln Library 3 Bedford Rd, Lincoln 01773. Upcoming dates: Dec 20, Jan 17, Feb 21, Mar 21
