If you are invited back for a second tune, that's a good sign. If you are not, don't leave in a huff, but promise yourself to woodshed more starting the following day. Don't take it personally, but if you do get selected, try to pick something unusual. Some are new, and may or may not last. Email me with any comments.
Talented amateurs share the spotlight with seasoned professionals in a warm party atmosphere.
Newcomers are welcomed, as are vocalists. Tunes can tend to run on a long time, as everyone gets their choruses in, frequently exhausting the rhythm section players. Actually, if you're the paranoid, suspicious type, you might wonder why these folks are so friendly, and start to wonder if they're stealing your car outside or something. In reality, they are just a really nice bunch of Jazz lovers. Don't let the amateur status fool you.
