Jammin’ with the Pros, hosted by vocalist Dona Clarke, is the longest running
jazz jam in the Eugene/Springfield area. It features some of the most
experienced and talented local jazz musicians and jammers. Dona began the jam
in 2018 and the jam has grown into a wonderful community gathering of jazz
players and jazz lovers.
For each jam Dona puts together a rhythm section trio chosen from a rotation of
eight local, seasoned professionals for your jamming and listening pleasure.
Tonight’s pros are Aaron Hipple on guitar, Hamilton Mays on bass, and
Carlito Perez on drums.
Experienced, skilled musicians & vocalists are invited to sit in. Vocalists – please
bring 4 copies of charts in your key.
Every jam is different, and each one serves up a great night of live jazz –
and there is pizza, good food, and a full bar involved!

Piano: Gus Russell, Nick Rieser
Guitar: Michael Anderson, Gerry Rempel, Aaron Hipple
