Trad Jazz at Lincoln Library presents a series of live Trad Jazz jams in which local musicians gather in informal ensembles to play traditional jazz.

December 2013:

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

GUIDELINES

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.
