SFJAM: Free Community Jam Sessions

SFJAZZ announces our new community jam session series, SFJAM! These free monthly open jam sessions in the Joe Henderson Lab provide a space for all Bay Area musicians to come together and perform in an inclusive, multigenerational setting. Each jam session features a musical director and curated repertoire. We invite musicians of all levels and ages to join each session. Space is limited!

Sign-up links will become available a few weeks before each session, so check back soon!

Non-performing patrons are also invited to attend and watch each session. Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. No reservations or tickets are needed to attend — just show up!

The SFJAM program is made possible through the generosity of Jimmy Hormel, Amy and Glenn Oclassen, Jr.
