To perform at the Associated Musicians of Greater New York’s Monday night jazz jam sessions, show up at 322 West 48th Street after 7:00 and sign up on the clipboard to sing or play an instrument (bring your own guitar, horn, or reed). You’ll be called to the stage with other musicians, both budding and seasoned, to show your stuff. The fluorescent-lit room offers some folding chairs and a few black and white photos of Dizzy and Thelonious on the stark, white walls; a dim, smoky jazz hall it is not. But it is a welcoming forum for performers to practice playing before an audience, hone their jamming skills, and be supported by a community of musicians. Feel free to sit and just watch; last Monday I heard vocals of “Fly Me to the Moon” and “Almost Like Being In Love,” and while the quality of the performances, um, varied, the vibe was all upbeat and cool, man. And there’s no charge to be there! Regulars greet each other enthusiastically and mingle in the back of the room where the free coffee is.
