Re: [Harp-L] the Jazz Jam setting at SPAH 2009

Winslow,

Your original posting stated:

<<In a  separate post, Randy Singer mentions that he will be  using
Band-in-a-Box for  his hallway jazz jams.

OK, so a hallway  jam isn't the same as a  nightclub with a live band in
front of an  audience. But is a nice low-pressure  opportunity to get your
feet
wet  in the ocean of jazz  improvisation.>>

I didn't read anything about a live jazz trio, small PA, etc in this
posting.

If you are perpetuating the spirit and ideas that Golden Age brought to 
SPAH, that's great. It just wasn't evident from your description pasted  above.

We're  still doing the jazz club setting in the Diamond Age.

We'll have a jazz  trio of drums, bass, and piano (electronic keyboard,
actually - rental,  moving, etc., of a real piano is beyond budgetary
consideration, at least this  year) with a small PA. Randy Singer will act as
organizer, host, and general  greeter and cheerleader.

This year, as last year, it will be in the  bar, near the hotel restaurant,
on the edge of the artificial lake in the  center of the hotel complex.
There will be plenty of seating available and an  open dance floor, if I
remember correctly from the January site  visit.
