Aro Valley Jazz Jam

Aro Valley Jazz Jam Jam sessions can be daunting for people new to improvising, or those learning their instruments. Drum kit provided!

We provide an opportunity for musicians of all levels to jam in a supportive environment.

As we reach our four year mark (!) as an institution, it seems appropriate to introduce our stalwart members. Where better to start than Jo Higgins, aka Jazzy Jo, who has been with us from the beginning?

JJ is a true internationalist, dividing her time between Wellington and New York, where she spends several months a year soaking up the best jazz in the world and bringing home lessons for us all.

Dan Yeabsley made the mistake of dropping into the jam last Sunday so we coerced him into playing a tune with us. Great fun! (It was “Blues by Five”.)
