What we’re about
Are you an intermediate-level musician wanting to play music with like-minded people?
Looking for a jam session in London?
We’re a collective of intermediate level musicians based in London.
We found that there were lots of jams in the city that cater to beginner and highly advanced musicians, but not much specifically for the people in between.
The purpose of the group is to help each other develop our musical skills through frequent jams and improvisation sessions in a friendly and welcoming environment.
We believe that by regularly playing music with people of a similar level together we can all learn from each and progress to a more advanced level.
We deconstruct songs, we rearrange songs and we experiment with music.
We play all styles and genres of music and welcome all intermediate level musicians regardless of what instrument you play. If want to find musicians to play with in London, this is the group for you.
How it works
- Our sessions are capped at 10 people so everyone gets a good amount of time to play
- Sessions last for 3 hours
- Sessions usually take place on Sunday afternoons
- Attendees nominate songs to explore at the session
- We confirm the song list around ten days before the session (so people have time to practice)
- We focus on a maximum of 8 core songs in each session so we have enough time to deconstruct them, rearrange them and play them in different styles at our own pace. By doing this, everyone gets to contribute in their own unique way.
- We use any remaining time for improvisation and other musical fun!
Come join us!
Our Repertoire
We're building the "IMC Repertoire", a list of core songs that we pay particular attention to during our events.
We'd like members to nominate songs that they'd like to work on. They can be from any music genre and style, so don't be shy! It's an open list that will keep growing with the group.
For each session we will collectively pick 6-8 songs from this list to focus on. That's not to say that we don't play other things, but we want to have a solid list that we can pick and choose from over the next few months.
