Open Jazz Jams with Marcia J. Macres as your host and the Jazz Punishers and friends as the house band.
The afternoon will start off with Jazz Punishers and a feature playing a few consecutive tunes, then the stage will be open to musicians to sit in and play/sing jazz standards with the Jazz Punishers.
Bring your instrument and charts (if not a jazz standard), or just come and listen. There will be a sign-up sheet at the door. $5 cash cover charge (for performers and attendees). BYOB!
The Jazz Punishers band (https://jazzpunishers.com) consists of seasoned jazz musicians: Jason Macres - saxophones Jim Zaroulis - keyboard/piano Ed Spargo - bass Steve Bankuti - drums Marcia J. Ridings Macres - vocals.
Whether you’re a jazz music listener, instrumentalist or vocalist, you are welcome to come and be surrounded by music. The PCA is handicap accessible to get into the building, with an outdoor lift that needs to have a person on the inside to operate. Once inside, there are 4 steps up to the stage level. If you need to use the lift, need a mic stand set up on the floor level because you cannot make it up the stairs to the stage, or need more information about the Jazz Jam, please contact Marcia J. Macres at marcia@macres.com.
