6pm ET via ZOOM
$15/$5 members
limited to 15 people
HAPPY HOUR HANG WITH MUSICIANS - Mondays at 6pm - Hear music, interact with one of our musician friends and enjoy some Jazz Gallery community. Reservations are required and available on a first-come, first-served basis at $15/$5 members per session (to offer the artist a small honorarium). Once you have signed up we will send you a Zoom link to the hang with instructions.
Happy Hour Hang sessions are limited to 15 people, as we'd like them to be something we can all participate in, and as it is not a concert limiting the number of people on screen means we can all chat!
More about Happy Hour Hangs: We started our Happy Hour Hangs in mid-March, right when things here in NY came to complete standstill, as a way to connect with our members and musician friends at a terribly discombobulating time. We wanted to support our community as best we could and understood that most musicians do not always have access to adequate internet bandwidth nor audio/microphone set up at their home, so sometimes the music does not come through as well as is desired; we didn't want to create a situation where our artists are not presented at their best. We also knew many people may not even want to play. So, we set up these sessions as a place to come and hang and 'be' with fellow music lovers. They were incredibly important to everyone, and still resonate. As we further develop our online presence as TJG Online, the Happy Hours are still a place we regroup each week, and we are always so delighted to see everyone. We hope you'll join us!
About Darcy James Argue
"For a wholly original take on big band’s past, present and future, look to Darcy James Argue” — so says Newsweek’s Seth Colter Walls. The Vancouver-born, Brooklyn-based composer and bandleader has toured nationally and internationally with his 18-piece ensemble, Secret Society, garnering countless awards and nominations and reimagining what a 21st-century big band can sound like. “It’s maximalist music of impressive complexity and immense entertainment value, in your face and then in your head” writes Richard Gehr in the Village Voice.
