Thursdays, 9 pm – 1

A bonafide grass roots event that has grown out of the
very floorboards of Irene’s Pub and has become a real crowd pleaser for
musicians and music lovers alike, this weekly Thursday night jam features Corky
Kealey on drums with Vince Halfhide on bass and a host of great local players
who rotate according to availability. Each week the cast is topped up with a
guest host who steers the song selections in whatever way they're inspired and
the jamming begins. It's a great concept and the proof is in its continuing
popularity.

Weekly jazz jam
Options Jazz Lounge,
Brookstreet Hotel, Kanata
Thursdays, 7-11 pm;
no cover
“… February 11, was the third anniversary of
weekly jazz jams at the Brookstreet Hotel's Options Jazz Lounge in Kanata – and
the HML Trio will be keeping the music going, as they have from the beginning.
There
are not many jams that last without a break for that long, and with the same
host band. But the Ottawa jazz trio – Jamie Holmes on drums, Alex Moxon on
guitar, and J.P. Lapensée on electric bass – has built a steady following for
the Thursday jam, week in and week out.”

It’s all about the Blues, Jazz and its derivatives from
around the globe and just around the corner. Songs rarely heard, from the very
first recordings all the way to indie artists who consciously push the envelope
to the next generation sounds of the genre; some older releases will be spun -
just because the album in old, doesn't mean it's forgotten, thus the "On
The Side" part of the show's title.
