Lindy at the Jam Session, Kagurazaka

LINDY AT THE JAM SESSION, JULY 2, 2025

This is a traditional jazz session held at MASH Records, a music studio in Kagurazaka, Tokyo, organized by clarinetist Makiko Tamura and saxophonist Satoshi Ito. Both are professional jazz musicians, but most other participants are amateur musicians in training. Lindy hop dancers are warmly welcome to join and dance!

Please note that this is not a typical concert for an audience but a session for aspiring jazz musicians—a practice gathering. The cost is 2,000 yen per person, and no reservations are required. The dance floor is relatively small, accommodating only a few couples at a time. However, the organizers are very welcoming to dancers.

Notably, Makiko Tamura is one of Japan’s finest professional clarinetists, but here she primarily supports the amateur musicians and may also use the session to practice the piano. That said, you’ll likely get to enjoy at least one piece featuring her exceptional clarinet performance.

The session starts at 7:30 PM and ends around 10:00 PM. Since there’s no Necola Wednesday Night Hop at Studio Necola that day, some of us will head to MASH Records to dance. See you at MASH Records!

Since TSDS is not the organizer of this session, please refrain from directing additional questions about this event to TSDS. We are merely participants, and all the information we have is provided here.
