After a busy two years, we took a short program break over the summer months. But now, the Gold Coast Jazz Society is up and running again with the monthly First Friday Jazz Jams program. The Jazz Jams, our monthly jazz jam sessions for student jazz musicians, began again in August. For those who are unfamiliar with the program, we provide a professional jazz rhythm section and invite students jazz musicians to come and jam with the pros. Students of all ages have been participating, some even as young as seven, and we always have a large appreciative audience of friends, families and jazz lovers.
Our next First Friday Jazz Jam will take place on Friday, September 10. All of the Jazz Jam sessions take place at ArtServe in Fort Lauderdale from 7pm – 10pm. So, students musicians, bring your instrument, cruise on over to ArtServe at 1350 East Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale for some jazzin’ good fun. Admission and parking are free. Go to www.goldcoastjazz.org for more information or call 954-524-0805.
First Friday Jazz Jams has been made possible with a grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation – the presenting sponsor – and with the support of the HI Foundation, Barbara Cooper, DeMeo Young McGrath – Certified Public Accountants, ArtServe and WLRN FM.
