Help us celebrate Duke Ellington's 114th birthday!
Duke's 114th birthday also falls during Jazz Appreciation Month (JAM). We're celebrating JAM and Duke with a jam session!
Bring your friends, bring your horn, and check out your peers and LIVE performances of Duke's music.
+ Musicians: come play and hang
+ Non-musicians: come hang and listen
The house band will play a short set to begin the session. We'll open the floor to musicians and singers who sign up to sit-in. Lead sheets and all necessary equipment will be provided for those who want to play. Light refreshments may be served. Doors open at BU Central at 8p and the jam lasts from 8:30p-11p. Come enjoy the one of life's little pleasures: live music.
After the playing is done, we'll retire to Sunset for food and drinks. For more information, contact BU Jazz Ensembles at BostonUniversityJazz@gmail.com, or follow us on twitter at BostonUniv_Jazz. Hope to see you there!
