Newport Jam Sessions

Newport Jazz presents: Jam Sessions @ The Blue Room

This is a space for all musicians to come together and perform in an inclusive, multigenerational setting. The jam sessions will feature a house band and curated jazz repertoire. Hosted by Leland Baker, Music Education Manager for the Newport Festivals Foundation.

Each session will be themed to focus on the music and legacy of a jazz artist; musicians are encouraged to play a tune written by that artist. A different jazz artist will be announced a week ahead of time to give musicians time to learn and explore that artist’s music.

Jazz artist theme for Wed. Feb 14:  Celebrating the music and legacy of two musical trailblazers, Alice + John Coltrane.

We invite musicians of all levels and ages to join each session. Non-performing patrons are also invited to attend and watch each session. NOTE: Backline is provided by the club, along with drums and piano, all other musicians are expected to bring their instruments.

9 – 10 pm: Newport Jazz House Band, featuring Leland Baker
10 – midnight: Newport Jazz Jam Sessions
– Cover charge $10 for audience
