Totnes Jazz Jam Session

14/06/2025

I,m looking for venues. Getting together a group playing mainly groove based originals plus the modern end of the jazz songbook. Quartet, tenor bass drums and me on Nord Piano and Moog synth. Very exciting. All of us compose. We will rock. We are not going to sit quietly in the corner of a pub noodling away. Love to here from anyone with any ideas of venues to approach. Or birthday parties or any events where you want to walk on the wild side.

Myself (John Walter) piano/synth and Brett Parker bass have been busy creating monthly jam sessions in Landkey and Fremington North Devon. We are open to creating more. Bude would be great for me. I have known people travel from Brixham, Tavistock, Launceston, Exeter, Taunton for the Totnes Jam. Let us know if you can help create a venue near you.
