Event Blurb

The concept of the project come from the soul music jamming scene from New York City. These jamming events are usually divided into two parts with the first being a main set of music performed by the house band while the second part being a section open for jam hosted by the house band. The uniqueness of this project is that the jam session comes with a rule of ‘no cover’ music. Therefore, whoever comes on stage for jam must create spontaneously on the spot with the house band and other musicians. The musicians are expected to come from the background of jazz, funk, blues, electronic or hip-hop music.
