A gathering for those in Cologne who find themselves awake and thinking about improvisation before the evening rush. We will meet near the industrial facade of Live Music Hall to discuss the local scene, the nuances of the Rhenish jazz circuit, and the persistent challenge of finding a rehearsal space that does not smell like a basement. It is a low-stakes opportunity to connect with fellow musicians and listeners in Ehrenfeld without the pressure of an actual jam session. Since it is a Wednesday morning, expect the conversation to be as fluid as a Coltrane solo and just as likely to stretch past the intended mark.
