Doors 2:30 PM, Music 3:00 PM
About
“Standards are engaging and accessible for musicians and listeners alike, but nearly all of jazz’s standard repertoire is from a 50 year period ca. 1920 – 1970.
Another half century has since passed, where new compositions have not been added to this shared language.
Join a collective of musicians who met through the Vortex jazz club in imagining future standards.
3 – 7.30pm: accessible open jam session open to all to join in from 3pm, for standards from the real book and “future standards”. House band will play a number of future standards throughout the afternoon.
For more details on the future standards project, including sheet music, workshops, and to suggest additions to the repertoire, contact vortex.jazz.collective@gmail.com
