Monthly Jam Session

Our monthly jazz jam session takes place the Third Tuesday of every month during the school year, at Sao Paulo’s Restaurante, just north of campus. Music starts at 7:30pm and goes till about 9:45pm.

We welcome jazz musicians (including singers!) of all ages and levels – we particularly invite UT, HT, and area high school students to join us, as our venue is an all-ages facility
