Strip it down and Jazz it up with full acoustic cocktail jazz. We want to feature vocalists and focus on our intimate setting, so bring your Harmon mute and leave your ear plugs at home! Miles would be proud. We will try to feature one artist per song, so practice that tune you've always wanted to share and we will see you in the gallery!

JAZZ MUSICIANS WANTED is a new monthly open mic series for jazz players and music lovers presented by Salida Arts & Culture! Join us for a stripped down and intimate evening of soft jazz and cocktails in the Paquette. Vocalists and musicians are encouraged to work up a favorite piece and take the stage with our house rhythm section. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, join us for an evening of pure jazz.

Throughout the night, players and vocalists sign up to play, creating fresh combos and unexpected musical moments. Listeners are welcome, too! Settle in and soak up the improvisational energy and community spirit that makes live jazz so special. Come ready to listen, play, and simply enjoy the rhythm of a truly special evening! Jazz Musicians Wanted presented by Salida Arts & Culture, hosted by pianist Andrew Callaway.
