santa fe jazz jam

I’ve wanted to create a nurturing environment for kids to experience the joy of playing jazz in a nonacademic setting for a really long time. It’s here!! While downtown Temple, TX may not be a hotbed of live music, on the 1st Sunday of each month we take the stage and make music!!

This is an opportunity for young aspiring jazzers to perform onstage in front of an adoring live audience with a professional rhythm section driving the train. Middle school, High school, and College students are all welcome to sit in, call a tune, and experience the magic of spontaneous creation.

Creativity is the engine of human growth. And, improvisation isn’t something we should be afraid of. We don’t communicate thru memorized speeches. We improvise. We don’t dream according to a script. Our minds play and improvise. This jam is a chance for kids to play with sound.
