Every First Thursday of the Month 8PM-10PM Prairie Moon hosts its jazz jam session hosted by Clark Sommers on bass, Chase Wilkins on drums, and Brandon Harper on keys.

Musicians bring what you need to jam with these celebrated musicians in the great and welcoming atmosphere of Prairie Moon. Drink and dining specials all night!

Jazz is an improvised art form and jam sessions have been a staple of jazz since the beginning. We highly encourage guests to come see what great musicians sound like when they get together sometimes for the first time and jam.

Every night jazz musicians and their audiences go at it for the first time. It doesn’t matter how the song was done before. Today is different and new. It is the creative process incarnate.

Winton Marsalis says, “Jazz celebrates life. Human life. All life, The range of it. And it deals with it.

Drummer, Art Blakey said, Jazz washes away the dust on everyday life
