The Impulse Room Improv Jam series is a unique experience of Jazz in it's root form. There are many definitions of a jam. Sometimes strangers get together to play known songs. Or, established bands may invite someone to sit in, again to known songs. Possibly established bands just start to riff or improvise as they are together.
Here, we hand pick musicians from the large pool of people that have performed here before. The vast majority of times they have never even met . They come from different vibes and styles. A person from a swing band can be paired up with someone from a blues group and then with someone from a straight ahead style. If they have met before they have never performed as this group created.
No known songs, No sheet music. Song titles are created on the spot by Peter Baron and a verbal picture is painted with a general sense of direction. Then these incredible people create magic.
Each album is recorded live and available on Impulse Room's Soundcloud page We are now on our 22nd Live album. Every performance has been awesome and special. If a group of musicians just flow and connect like that they are then given an "In House" band name and they return as that newly formed group. Here are some examples (Below)
