The events are the weekly Jazz and Blues
Jam here at Jackson Avenue Coffee.
We got started, I want to say, at the end of May.

get to do it more than once, you kind of get a feel for how each
other plays and you kind of play off of each other.

you can take the music.

and keep our playing going.

I like to do.
It's my favorite thing to do, to come out and play.
