Pootie Tang Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Ottawa Bands and Jammers out there, is anyone interested in collectively getting together next Thursday at the Bayou for an open jam party?? I've gotten a call yesterday from a few folks who usually run open jazz jams at the Bayou on those Thursdays and they were asking if any of us jammers in Ottawa would like to take the stage and make it a night for us?? Lets think of it as like a 40 Main jammathon but without the 18 kegs or so, it's free of course to come play, and if enough of us come down it could be a great party. Skanks, Hux, Tummies, Grant Buffett, Station, all other jammers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 The Tummies might be down - is this happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 I might be down to play a tune or two if someone is crazy enough to put a guitar in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 cool.. I might be persuaded to head out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootie Tang Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Yessir, it still is going down! I'm glad you guys are interested. Basically like I mentioned it's a night for all of us to come down and jam together, there'll be equiptment there, guitarists may want to bring their axe's if they have em, the kit n amp's we can take care of. We can either do it a little formal, like put together a list of people to play their songs, and have anyone join in if they like, or we can just bring people up as they call tunes, it doesn't matter...any suggestions?

bradm Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 My main recommendation is to have a designated Organizer/Frontman/Announcer, who manages who goes on stage when, based on a sign-up sheet. If you're including singer/songwriter performances as well as open jamming, the sheet might/should include each player's preference. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Spike the punch, let chaos determine the order. Not only that, but with the spike punched, everyone will think that good music is being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 That's the plan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatpatguy Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 so is that going to be this Thursday (September 2)? or the Thursday afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 The Tummies hunkered down for a songwriting session last night somewhere between St. Louis de Ha! Ha! and Quebec City. We'll try and finish 'er off in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootie Tang Posted August 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 so is that going to be this Thursday (September 2)? or the Thursday afterwards? It will be this Thursday Sept 2/04. I'll speak with the guy from Jazzworks tonight and see how he'd like to do it, I believe he just uses a list and puts bands/performers on it and go from there, so maybe we can do it that way, and get people up in between for sit in's etc. This could be a lot of fun, we haven't done this in a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 If I'm in town on Thursday night*, I'll try to be there. Aloha, Brad * I'm desparately seeking a ride to moe.down via Utica on Thursday night/afternoon, arriving in Utica in time (8pm) to see GTB...

SaggyBalls Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 dude that'd rock. i should bring my gear then. i can play synth pads or delays to mix it up. we could also hit it up to fatten a sound hugely with unison runs and hits. should we get together early and work on some stuff?? anyone? a jam before the jam??

thatpatguy Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 whoah.. I wasn't being serious.. but hmmm... maybe eh.. you have lots of effects? it would be like Bootsy's Rubber Band.. he had a bass player.. since Bootsy didn't really play "bass" if you know what I mean I won't have time to get together before hand though.. and now I'm all nervous cuz I'm rusty as anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 How does the Bayou feel about a mini-Noise festival? No composd music, just soundscapes with duelling basses and Velvet's Tuba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
