WE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\, AND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!THERE ARE NO PRE-SHOW RESERVATIONS FOR THE JAMS! SUGGESTED DONATION AT THE DOOR. $5.00 per person Our jams are all about sharing songs\, making new friends\, and enjoying a relaxing and casual evening of irresistible string band music. ALL are welcome to join the circle for an afternoon or evening playing and listening to classic grass\, new grass and folk favorites. We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. Red Spruce and Adirondack Song Dogs will kick off each session with a few tunes then open the floor for musicians to lead their favorite bluegrass tunes and folk music\, backed up by the other pickers in the gathering. Simple tunes are always popular! So sharpen up your axe\, come prepared with your song\, and let us hear some good old fast\, high and lonesome\, some slow and low\, or a good old favorite. All are welcome! What is a Slow Jam? It is a group of string instrument players and singers who get together to have fun making music. The “slow” modifier indicates that it is targeted to the following musicians: people who have been playing solo and want to get used to playing in a group setting: people who have just learned how to play and want to play with others; people who have instruments that have been gathering dust for a “few” years; experienced players who are trying out playing instruments other than their primary instrument; people who are comfortable playing their instrument but want to become more comfortable singing/leading a song.. The tunes are played at 80 to 110 BPM and usually in basic keys such a G\, A\, D\, C major\, but it always sounds great to play in some minor keys such as “a”\, “e”\, and “g”. We will try to avoid “jam busters.” It is our hope that after this experience you will feel more comfortable playing at the many open jams and open mics that can be found in our area. \n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						General\n						$120.00\n					\n				\n			\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				More Information			\n			\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Guitar Workshops with Bruce Thompson\n\n				Bluegrass Instructional Workshop\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 23 • 9 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Music With Miss Deb\n\n				Family Folk Instructional Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 24 • 9:30 AM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Clawhammer Banjo with Carolyn Shapiro\n\n				American Roots Instructional\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								class\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 28 • 3 PM

SUMMARY:Peak Jazz Series: Dave Stryker Trio
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Instructional		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n“Guitarist / composer Dave Stryker possesses golden tone\, urgent style\, and the kind of \n \nheated technique that can blow the roof off any gig. Stryker cut his teeth with organist \n \nJack McDuff and tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine\, and that grits-n-gravy goodness \n \nseemed to mark his music: an urban tale spinner\, a sharp stylist able to improve any \n \nbandstand\, a storyteller in sound of the highest degree.” \n \n                                                                                         – Ken Micallef / Jazz Times Jan 2022 \n \nWhether performing with his own groups or sharing the stage with jazz legends like Stanley Turrentine and Jack McDuff\, Dave Stryker has carved out a place as one of today’s most distinctive and soulful jazz guitarists. With 35 albums as a leader\, over 75 as a sideman\, countless accolades—including being named Best Guitarist in many jazz publications’ Readers and Critics Polls—and a track record of #1 releases on the JazzWeek radio chart\, Stryker continues to expand what jazz guitar can be. \n \nThe Dave Stryker Trio\, showcases the electrifying chemistry of longtime collaborators Jared Gold (organ) and Steve Johns (drums)—a rhythm section that’s as deep in groove as it is daring in improvisation. The trio toured as the opener for Steely Dan’s Earth After Hours tour\, and their albums are a thrilling testament to the power of a tight\, soulful jazz unit in full stride. \n \nStryker’s style blends bluesy grit\, melodic elegance\, and an infectious sense of swing. A former protégé of Stanley Turrentine\, he’s brought his joyful\, groove-forward approach to audiences around the world—from Birdland and the Blue Note to Newport Jazz Festival and Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nThis is a night of world-class musicianship you won’t want to miss. Come hear why DownBeat and JazzTimes repeatedly recognize Dave Stryker as one of the greats working today. Reserve your seat now for a night of jazz that’s cool\, compelling\, and utterly unforgettable. \n \nThe Peak Jazz Series focuses on ensembles that lean toward cool jazz\, fusion\, and funk\, offering audiences a dynamic and diverse jazz experience.  \n \nThe Peak Jazz Series is made possible by the generous support of Joseph & Luann Conlon in memory of Corrine Simonds. \n \nStream this show live at CaffeLenaTV. Enjoy two weeks of access with your live stream ticket. \n \n \n \nNote: Caffe Lena does not permit ticket reselling above face value.
