Jazz Club Stroud
Friday 22nd November 8pm
Leading the Jam this month is Rowan Porteous.
Rowan Porteous is a jazz trumpeter and composer and stalwart of the Bristol and south west music scene. He worked as a session player in London before relocating to Stroud. Since then he has been heard in Giffords Circus band, highlife jazz fusion band Baraka, and fusion collective the Rootless Society. In recent years he has focused on his own project, The Other Way, which played at Cheltenham Jazz Festival and has been on regular rotation on Jazz FM. The debut album 'Learning to Be' came out in 2024. Rowan continues to gig regularly in various projects, always with an emphasis on improvisation.
Listen to never-before-created live music. Come, listen and perform with friendly supportive musicians. Bring your friends, spread the word! The jam is open - all are welcome to perform.
The jam is hosted by Stroud Jazz Collective and Stroud Valleys Artspace and has been born out of the former Stroud Jazz Sessions, celebrated for over a decade in Stroud.
