jam anyone?

som

hi, i'm a drummer looking to get back playing in group(took a year out last year cos of final year of college).
have been playing for 12 years. i'm into Bill Evans, avishai cohen, Miles, Coltrane, Wayne Shorter .....or any bebop or modern jazz.
So if anyone wants a jam -can organise one where i live(Balinteer) or in a practice studio in town -
post a thread or pm me if anyone's interested

Ah hello, long time no chat. Good to hear you're back, I wouldn't mind a jam again, really want to get back into playing somewhat regularly again. Any other folks up for a j and b jam?

som

hey, yea its been a while -great to hear you're up for a jam if you know any guitarists and/or bassist they'd be useful, but i was in London at the weekend and saw a tenor player busking with two prcussionist - it actually sounded really cool,so..
I know a couple of guitarists and bassists but none with a solid grounding in jazz,but it might be worth a jam with them also

I'd love a blues jam. I couldnt honestly say that I could keep up with Jazz.
I play guitar. 22, South Dublin

Setun

Well I know a double bass player and a piano who'd be up for a jam. Sure we could play a bit of blues aswell, why not. Anyone else up for it?

som

great....saxophones, drums, piano, bass + guitar - that could make for good jam ..i live out in Ballinteer if anyone wants t have a jam out here ,or if some1 else has somewhere they can play , or i could look into renting out a rehersal space in town if that suits, i've sent you a pm with my phone number

I play the sax and I'd love to get back into playing with a group. Any room for a soprano sax?

Hey there lads-

I'm a jazz singer and I'd be very interested in a jam! Let me know if you'd like to chat about it!

Setun

Sorry guys, I've been crazy busy with work lately, but we'll get together for a jam soon enough. I'll send you a PM when we can get a base group together.

Any developements on this, I wonder? If not, would anyone have suggestions on how to get back playing after many, many years hiatus?

Red Sleeping Beauty

Ah I'd love to go along for a jam but it feels like I've not played in years much like jamieev mind you I'm only in the early 20's. Is there any bars in town that have blues nights ?

If you are in Dublin you could try the "Blue Goose" pub on Ormonde Quay (just past the Four Courts). They have an open jam session every Monday night starting at 10.00 pm. with all musicians welcome. Just bring your instrument.


Alan Dunne 27 : JJ Smiths on Aungier St have an open blues jam on the 1st Monday or Tuesday (cant remember which) of each month.

You could send them an email : info@jjsmiths.com

Hi Som,
I posted a thread looking for a drummer yesterday.
We're a Soutrh dublin based blues band, nothing too serious, just jam and have a bit of craic and maybe play the odd gig now and again.
Purely for the love of the music.

Let me know if you'd be interested...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you would know of a big band type set up that would play in Dublin and that would be cool with someone coming along for rehersals etc.?

I'm an alto sax player, used to play for a big band in Galway and looking for something similar in Dublin.

And if you guys get a jam together I'd love to join in

Setun

Hey guys, sorry bout the delay again. I've been talking to Som, and a place I usually have had access to (which had a kit/nice electric piano - and was free) is temporarily unavailable. So if we can find a nice place to ahve a jam we'll definitely go for it. More news as it happens, keep an eye on this thread.

Thanks folks.
