The Jazz Academy Jam Sessions are a community-focused, curated jam session series held the second Tuesday of each month in the Jazz Academy. Jazz musicians of all ages and experience levels are invited to participate in the jam, as well as community members who wish to watch. Each session will have a theme with a list of tunes that will be drawn from.
Join us for a jam session led by vocalist Rachel Sepulveda, highlighting classic vocal jazz tunes from the Great American Songbook and jazz standard repertoire. We invite musicians and community members to come watch and/or play at this jam!
Lead sheets for this jam session are available at this link HERE!**
**Instrumentalists Please Note: For this jam session, the lead sheets we are providing are in Concert Key ONLY. For instruments that transpose (Saxophone, Trumpet, etc) we recommend transposing these charts yourself, learning the tunes by ear, or finding the tunes in a Real/Fake Book. Many of these lead sheets can be found online, just make sure it’s in the correct key for your instrument!
