Live Jazz jam session open to all ages. Dollar off pints for guests.

“As a professional jazz musician, I’ve seen how vital it is to play with people of all backgrounds and experience levels, and in front of an audience. But for young musicians, opportunities are limited due to age restrictions at most jam sessions. That’s why we created a space where all ages are welcome to play, learn, and grow together through jazz.”
— Daryl Gott, Host

Hosted by Daryl Gott & Friends, this free, grant-funded event has become a beloved tradition at the People’s Building and Stanley Marketplace. Whether you’re performing or just enjoying the music, come be part of a vibrant, supportive community.

Made possible in part by a grant from the City of Aurora.

Cerebral Aurora Arts

Live Jazz jam session open to all ages. Dollar off pints for guests.

“As a professional jazz musician, I’ve seen how vital it is to play with people of all backgrounds and experience levels, and in front of an audience. But for young musicians, opportunities are limited due to age restrictions at most jam sessions. That’s why we created a space where all ages are welcome to play, learn, and grow together through jazz.”
— Daryl Gott, Host

Hosted by Daryl Gott & Friends, this free, grant-funded event has become a beloved tradition at the People’s Building and Stanley Marketplace. Whether you’re performing or just enjoying the music, come be part of a vibrant, supportive community.

Made possible in part by a grant from the City of Aurora.
