Tuesday, January 27 (2009) ~ 8:00 PM Price: $6 ($5/Member)Jazz Jam – with host: Jamie Stewardson & Rivers Music School ( http://www.jamiestewardson.com ) Each week Jazz Jam balances high level playing with a spirit of welcome and community. Here you can hone your skills and trade lick’s with some of the finest players in the area. Amazing Things Hollis Street venue is a fine sounding room and whether you’re a pro or a student, you’ll have a great time. “Jamie directs the Jazz program at the Rivers Music School. He received his MM degree in jazz composition from the New England Conservatory and has recently recorded two CDs of original works with Tony Malaby, George Schuller, Alexei Tsiganov, John Hebert and John Lockwood. Jamie’s band is always very high level with the Rivers faculty forming the heart of the group. “Back in the days before jazz education moved into the conservatory, kids who wanted to watch a jazz performance or sit in with the band had to sneak into the smoke filled bars where the musicians congregated…. Unfortunately the jazz club environment that spawned and nurtured American jazz has almost completely died out and young musicians have virtually no outlet for performance in front of a live, non-academic audience. Amazing Things has created just such an environment minus the booze and cigarette smoke, on Tuesday nights where a high level group of professional jazz musicians come in and perform a set and then opens things up for people to sit in.” – Jamie Stewardson directorof Jazz Rivers Music School – Weston MA Location: Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St (Route 126), Framingham, MA 01702For more information, call (508) 405-2787 or visit: www.amazingthings.org
