UJAM CLUB NIGHTS

you!
"Themes from Nature"
Join us in September for our first monthly UJAM club night of the season! The themes for each club night will be released soon.
Choose a couple of classic jazz tunes or arrange a duet or pick a tune that captures the essence of the theme. We’re excited for touching moments and the unexpected delights our talented vocalists and instrumentalists always bring.
Whether you’re performing, listening, or simply taking in the vibe, let’s make this night a reminder of how music brings us closer.
Thanks to all who made our Club Nights so successful - our volunteer organizing committee of Margot Johnston, Barry Casson, Liam Arthurs, Dave Paulson, Helena Jeeves, and Joy Andrews plus our great musicians including Liam Arthurs, Michael Frey, and Ken Seidman, Barry Gough and Reiner Piehl, not to mention our performers, volunteers, and audience. You all played a vital part in the success of these events!

Each month Universal Jazz Advocates And Mentors presents a themed open mic night of singers and musicians sitting in with our wonderful house band.
Please provide titles for up to two songs you have prepared and a short message about your performance. We will get back to you about getting your charts and any links to example recordings for your songs.
Charts and links to songs are needed by 5 days before the day of the show to give the band a chance to prepare. Let us know if you need help preparing.
As always, send your charts to ujamsevents@gmail.com so that the house band can start practicing. Music should be in our hands 5 days before the show. PDF versions are best and charts should not be more than 2 pages long. Help is available to find charts, pick your best key, and assist with getting you ready.
