Join us on the third Wednesday of every month for the San Pedro Jazz Jam at Collage: A Place for Art and Culture.
Catch a groove as we play through jazz standards and free jams for two hours of creative improvisation. We have a piano and drum kit, and a house guitar and bass, and welcome all sorts of instruments. The jam will be led by Grant Hungerford, a trumpet player who studied at Juilliard and the Manhattan School of Music and has performed with the LA Philharmonic. Grant was professor of Trumpet at UC Santa Barbara and is also a private teacher, and he knows how to work with students at all levels.

We will alternate rhythm section players every three tunes if possible. We also ask that each participant who wishes to solo take only 2 choruses in order to let all have an opportunity.
This is a great opportunity to meet and play with other musicians in the area. All skill levels and instruments are welcome as well as anyone who wants to experience a great night of jazz.
