This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

This is a periodic (hopefully weekly once in full swing) jazz jam. Tunes from traditional jazz canon and beyond. In a metro area so full of musicians, there are too few opportunities to jam regularly and informally. I also want people from this group to play gigs with each other, shed tunes together, and of course share with everyone what you've been working on. Although this group is geared at musicians, I hope to welcome all serious jazz fans out there who just like to listen and learn how t …
