The Whiskey Jazz Jam is a celebration of the vibrant jazz culture once epitomized by the legendary jam sessions at Whiskey Bar. These gatherings pay homage to a time when the air buzzed with improvised melodies and raw talent, creating a haven for jazz lovers in the heart of the city.
Carrying forward that legacy, the Whiskey Jazz Jam happens every Tuesday night, split between two jazz heavyweights. On the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays, the event is led by renowned trumpeter Al Strong, who infuses his signature soulful style and impeccable artistry into the evening. On the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, the reins are taken by Harvey Cummings, a masterful saxophonist known for blending jazz with hip-hop and funk influences, adding his own unique flair to the jam.
Adding to the experience, this event features Gentleman Jack, elevating the evening with its smooth and refined flavors that perfectly complement the dynamic energy of live jazz. Together, these nights channel the spirit of the original Whiskey Bar sessions, bringing together seasoned musicians and fresh talent to create spontaneous magic on stage. The event isn’t just a performance—it’s a living tribute to jazz's timeless legacy and its unifying power.
