Boulder Friends of Jazz is supported by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District, Wells Fargo, and Members
The Boulder Friends of Jazz hires a rhythm section, or "back line" of three musicians to
ensure that there will be good quality accompaniment for any musician who happens to drop
in.
A Guest Director is hired on a rotating basis to lead off the jam and to ensure that any
musician in attendance gets adequate time to play in the jam. Prior to the jam, the Guest
Director engages two additional musicians to round out the front line. All three members of
the front line as well as the three musicians in the rhythm section are paid for their
performances at the jam.
Door prizes are awarded to those in attendance based upon ticket drawings. Members and
guests are eligible for such prizes as have been donated by local merchants and musicians.
Examples are dinners in local restaurants and CDs of the musicians in attendance. The
Denver Jazz Club often provides free admission to its concerts as door prizes. Musicians in
attendance are eligible for cash drawings.
