After a smashing success at its online premiere in April, Flushing Town Hall will hold a second Virtual Jazz Jam: Celebrating the Legacy of Louis Armstrong on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 PM. Led by Astoria, Queens resident Carol Sudhalter and Flushing Town Hall’s house jazz band, the monthly in-person jam has been one of the venue’s most beloved, monthly gatherings — and now it’s online for artists to find community online.

The upcoming Virtual Jazz Jam: Celebrating the Legacy of Louis Armstrong, is open to a maximum 20 jammers – on a first-come first-served basis – from anywhere in the world to participate.

Interested participants should email [email protected] and identify a three- to four-minute tune they intend to share. It can be live or pre-recorded (but not a professional, edited recording). Musicians who already played at the April jam should not apply again, as the venue is rotating in new participants.

Audiences can watch this session LIVE and for FREE by simply tuning in to Flushing Town Hall’s Facebook page or Zoom on Wednesday, May 13 at 7 PM EST. Flushing Town Hall is planning future Jazz Jams, with dates to be announced later.
