Sunday Jam Sessions

The true spirit of jazz plays out on stage at The Nash during Sunday Jam Sessions, as student and professional musicians play together, unrehearsed, in a variety of combinations. There’s always a solid core trio in the lineup, and student jazz musicians and singers are welcome to participate in this essential jazz experience. Advance or online tickets are not available to Jam Sessions. Tickets available at the door.
