Derek Short's Jam Session (Funk, Fusion, Jazz, Rock etc.)

Derek Short will be hosting his regular open Jazz/Funk jam session again on this Tuesday (August 12th) 7PM - 11PM at W.jaz (wjazinfo.jimdo.com) in Nishi Ogikubo. All styles and players are welcome. Bass players, guitarists, drummers, keyboardists, horn players, vocalists .... whatever !!! The house band for this jam session will be Derek Short (bass & sax) , Akihiro Horikoshi (keys) & Hiroki Namekawa (drums). As usual , this is a musical social event, not a competition, so please don't be shy and come on down to jam and have some FUN with us.
