What we’re about
Interested in Jazz? Want to hear Live Jazz or play it?
In this MeetUp Group, we bring Jazz-to-the-People.
Whether you're a Jazz Newbie, a die-hard Enthusiast or a Jazz Musician, this MeetUp group brings together those who love America's first - and greatest - original art-form.
Are you a Jazz Novice? Here's a chance to do so by listening to it and talking about it with both enthusiasts and the musicians who create it.
Do you love to play Jazz? Unlike other sessions and jams, here's a chance to do so, and to engage with those who come to listen in-between sets.
Are you a Jazz Enthusiast? Want to share your knowledge ("who played cornet on Jacque St. Clair's recording of 'Vital Stats'?") with musicians - or even with newbies who've yet to explore the world of Jazz that you love? If any of these describe you, then this MeetUp is for you.
Forged from Delta Blues, infused with African and Latin rhythms, and using American energy and ingenuity to push the limits of harmonic and melodic boundaries, Jazz can bring together peoples of a wide variety of backgrounds, regardless of class, ethnicity or education.
Come join us as we celebrate, play and listen to Live Jazz!
Now every 2nd and 4th Tuesday!!!
(Note: this MeetUp is free, but the venue charges a modest cover.)
Since June 2023, the Newton Jazz Jam has been bringing together jazz lovers and jazz musicians at Moldova Restaurant and Cafe. It runs every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from 7pm-10pm, and lets you enjoy jazz music no matter your level of knowledge, offering musicians the opportunity to play and improvise.
Featuring:
- Christopher Bonnier Pitts, horns and MC
- Alexei Tsiganov, keyboards
- Gillian De Lear, drums
- Richard Hale Shaw, bass
And featuring *YOU!* when you come and sit in, or just come to listen.
Come join us: listen, hang out, eat and drink in this warm, inviting, no-pressure atmosphere - and if you're a Jazz Musician, come sit in and play! With excellent Eastern European food, Moldova is the perfect place for dinner, drinks, and jazz. A modest cover charge applies. Whether you're there to listen or perform, bring your instrument and join us! (Piano, drum kit and bass amp are on-site; bring your instrument to sit-in. Guitarists, bring an amp, please.)
Great music, great food, great vibe!
Hosted by Artur Andronic at Moldova Restaurant Boston
