Traditions of Jazz is excited to invite you to a special community performance hosted by A Joyful Little Band—a celebration of learning, creativity, and the joy of making music together.

Last weekend our new Jazz Club brought together high school musicians and adult players to rehearse, listen, discuss, and explore jazz in a relaxed, collaborative setting. Now, we’re ready to share the music with you!

During this two-hour event, this month’s Jazz Club members will share three featured tunes. It’s casual, it’s meaningful, and it’s exactly the kind of environment where musicians grow.

It’s also where community support makes all the difference. Whether you’re a friend, a family member, a jazz lover, or simply curious, we’d love for you to be part of this musical moment. Come enjoy a morning of creativity, connection, and joyful music-making! Your presence encourages these musicians and strengthens the community we’re building—one note at a time.

Suggested donation: $10 to help sustain our Jazz Club sessions.
