    We finally found what we think will be a perfect fit for all of us. Starting Wednesday, Feb 5th, we will be hosting our Jazz Nights at Gaslamp on PCH in Long Beach.
    We know that the magic of Jazz Night wasn’t the room. It was the community we all created. 

    Here’s what we’re keeping the same:

    • We play every Wednesday, 7-10pm.
    • Sit-In Night with our host John O’Campo will continue on the 1st Wednesday of each month (starting March 5). 
    • We will have the same open-door policy with our artists.
    • We will continue to encourage students to join us to get stage-time in front of an audience.

    Here’s what we’re changing:

    • With the larger stage, your weekly backing band will now be the Tom Dante Quartet, adding Dave Murdy on guitar. 

    Our first show to be like our past Anniversary Shows. So Feb 5 will be our:
    All-Star “0th” Anniversary!!

    Tickets: $10 at gaslamptix.com or $15 at the venue
