Standards are engaging and accessible for musicians and listeners alike, but nearly all of jazz’s standard repertoire is from a 50 year period ca. 1920 – 1970.
Another half century has since passed, where new compositions have not been added to this shared language.
Join a collective of musicians who met through the Vortex jazz club in imagining future standards.
3 – 5pm: house band set and open jam reserved for future standards.
(5.30 – 7.30pm: accessible jam session; call songs from the real book or these recent compositions)
