The Selmer Jam

A jazz evening at Ladbroke Hall in London, presented as The Selmer Jam and also billed as The Selmer Jam, Damon Oliver and Friends, built on improvised jam-session playing.

The Selmer Jam is a jazz project presented under this title, and the same evening is also billed as The Selmer Jam, Damon Oliver and Friends. Damon Oliver is credited alongside the project in that second billing, with the other players described only as friends. A jam session is an open format in which musicians improvise over shared tunes and take turns to solo, so the music here rests on improvisation rather than a fixed script.

Ladbroke Hall hosts concerts and shows in London, and this jazz evening takes place there. The venue's programme covers both live music and stage performance, so the jazz sits within a wider calendar of cultural outings in the city.

The evening suits anyone interested in live jazz improvisation, especially those who want to hear a group play jam-style material on stage in London.
