I don't know about Buckeye, but at SPAH the jazz jams didn't 
conflict with the blues jams, they conflicted with the evening 
entertainment.  Most entertainment ran until nearly midnight, and 
the jazz jams were at 9:30.  I would love to have made it to one, 
but SPAH is always full of tough choices.  

As it was, I spent mid-morning on Friday sitting in the hallway with 
Phil Caltabellotta, Jim Lohman, Pete Blasburg, Tom Stryker and 
others (including PT Gazell on diatonic) listening to some great 
jazz jamming along with Jamie Abersold play-along tracks on a Bose 
Wave.  Although I didn't play, I was invited to join them the next 
day, and regret not making it by in time -- I stayed up too late the 
night before playing with Jimi Lee, Chris and George.  

Next year I'll definitely seek out this group to participate, and 
would love for it to be with accompanyment, but if not, I'll 
find 'em in the hallway again!
