As Stanely Crouch wrote:
"Those Jam contests created, as Ralph Ellison observed, the jazzman's academy. It was in those sessions that the young musicians learned, usually stumbling at first, sometimes leaving humiliated, but coming back and back and back until
they had risen to the standards of performance - command of blues and swing, ballads and harmony. It could be rough going but all those worthy of respect became stronger through the discipline. Since the middle 40s there have been
professional public performances using the jam session format and that is what you will hear this evening - a hot rhythm section, some saxophones and trombones, some blues, some ballads, some swing. Will some heads get cut? As Fats Waller said, "One never knows - do one?""
