23 USA Open Musical Jam Sessions part23
Philadephia, Pennsylvania, USA: [Misc]
J.C. Dobbs at 304 South Street in Philadelphia [(215) 925-4053] has a
blues/funk/r&b/rock jam on Tuesdays. Starts pretty early. You have to
sign up. House band does a couple of short sets, but there's time to
jam. The house band will even back you up if you are, say, a guitartist
and you need a bassist and drummer, etc. Pretty good jam. Some
"clique-ishness" but unknowns do get their shots. Talk to Wally Smith,
the house keyboard player, and tell him that Dan Barron sent you.
(seriously).

well-advised to bring your own seat (lousy folding chairs). The session
runs from 2:30 to about 6:00. For more info, call Carolee at (803)
