This group is about the joy of music, especially when you are making it and even more especially when you are making it with others.

Otherwise, my apartment will hold about 5, as long as …

These are usually blues, rags, bluegrass, country or also folk/modern, d …

We are going to have group networking events, jams in the park/studios whatever else we can conjure up. in my travels I have seen many well intentioned artists make industry mistakes or improperly market themselves.

The Jazz Spot was located in Brooklyn New York and was a live jazz music venue who's owners sponsored/organized this group for a FANTASTIC 7 year run (2003 - 2010)!

Three of my favorite things to do are: figure drawing, making music, and playing games--all while sipping wine and and eating fancy cheeses with like-minded creative and fun people. To that end I am opening my house in Windsor Terrace Brooklyn for a once-or-twice-a-month get-together to anyone who would like to share in these activities. Whether you are an accomplished gamer, artist, and musician, or a novice that can barely play an instrument or draw, and never played Scrabble or Boggle in your …
