Rio Grande Jazz Society

Rio Grande Jazz Society The Rio Grande Jazz Society is a nonprofit organization devoted to preserving traditional jazz. The jam sessions are unrehearsed, and can be quite interesting.

The Rio Grande Jazz Society is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization devoted to the preservation and promulgation of traditional jazz, Dixieland, and swing. It came into being in the late 1980s, moving through several meeting venues before settling in at the Edelweiss German-American Club (GAC), where it meets on the third Sunday of most months. At the monthly meetings, there's usually a jam session at

2:00, followed by a feature band at 3. Much depends on how many musicians show up on a given Sunday, what instruments they bring, and what tunes they can all agree upon. Lots of folks who aren't musicians come to the monthly meetings because they just like to listen, dance, and have a sociable libation with friends.

Dear friends: I'm sorry to say that the RGJS Board has decided that we must cancel this month.

However: if you were looking forward to hearing Bill Biffle's band, The Storyville Five - I know I was! - please know that you can catch them at the Corrales Bistro on August 10 from 6:30 to 9. Go check them out - it's a fun space, and you know the music will be great!

Also - we're already looking ahead to our August Jam, which will take place on Sunday, August 20th, and will feature High Desert Jazz Band. I hope we see you there!
