This is a group to collect/connect jazz musicians,jazz listeners/lovers, and dance lovers at a place where all these things are possible. Currently many clubs featuring great jazz don't have much space for dancing--strange because the fun of moving to music is so natural! However, at most rock etc dance clubs the music is at bio hazard volume levels. Our JJ&D events feature dance-friendly space & creative music at an enjoyable level great for your all-over health! Dancing--all types, beats, etc. …

Meet other local fans of jazz & blues music, and see new jazz & blues musicians before they get famous! The Bay Area is home to an amazing live jazz scene, with hundreds of small venues that provide an intimate and affordable way to experience jazz as it's meant to be: spontaneous, inventive, and alive.

We're trying to breathe life back into this meetup and hope to combine activities and logistics with the ~Live Jazz~ meetup group. In the meantime, I hope members will lead an outing. Please let me know if anyone would like to coordinate a jazz event.

Seeking anyone who enjoys making music with their mouth like Bobby McFerrin. Do you sing, whistle, or beat box? Actual instruments are NOT needed, but skilled musicians are still welcome. I hope to unite a mix of interesting people and styles for a recording and performance project. Most beat box is like rap or pop beats, so maybe we can take it to a new level with big band classics or jazz standards. I would value any feedback so we can get this group started. Thank you ~Gino Jazz
