Good Morning Everyone,

I book most of the music that happens at The Crimson Moon Cafe and am hoping to get a Jazz Jam Session going for most Sunday evenings in 2010 that would follow our quite successful Traditional Music Jam that runs from 3 pm to 6 pm. Only compensation we can currently offer is free beer/wine or a free meal to three or four folks who committ to 'anchor' the jam, and a split of tips (that have been running from $40 to $120 dollars for the earlier 'traditional' jam.) Can set up microphones/etc. if desired, & have an awesome sound system, but the acoustics in the room are fabulous & acoustic would be a bit easier to manage for all and works fairly well for the afternoon jams.

Any interest out there in the jazz world of North Georgia?

Playing ES-335, L-50 with Fishman bridge PU, and Washburn classical through Gibson Lab & Blues Junior amps. Have played 45 years, read music & available for gigs. Claim to fame: Joe Pass once used the Polytone 102 I no longer have.
