Go beyond AHA! Jazz Jam with “And the Jam Continues!”

In this second installation, Manny Escobar and Tina B continue to explore the African, European, and Indigenous music that inspired jazz music. Through the jam, you will learn to play not only African rhythms, melodies and oral traditions but also learn rhythmic patterns over a simple jazz form.

No experience required but please bring your own instrument or noise-making device to jam.

Location: Co-Creative Center at 137 Union Street, New Bedford, MA 02740. Street parking around the Co-Creative Center is FREE after 6PM. The Zeiterion Parking Garage is also a block away
