The First Sunday Jazz Jam returns on Sunday, May 3, from 1:30 to 3:30 PM at American Legion Post #21 (7 Perley Street, Concord).
This relaxed, welcoming jam session brings together musicians and vocalists of all ages and experience levels for an afternoon of swing, jazz standards, and community connection. Participants are invited to sit in, call tunes, or simply listen and enjoy—listeners are warmly welcome.
No soloing experience is required—anyone comfortable playing or singing a melody from the Real Book is encouraged to join.
A keyboard, drum kit, bass amp, and microphones for vocalists will be provided. Musicians should bring their own instruments, music stands, fake books or charts, and any personal equipment they rely on (guitarists are asked to bring a small amp).
While American Legion Post #21 is a private club, this event is open to the public. Guests may ring the doorbell upon arrival to be admitted. The Legion is generously providing the space; attendees are encouraged to support them by purchasing beverages at the bar. Popcorn is complimentary, and guests are welcome to bring their own food.
