Monday, July 6
Empress Marquee Club
Doors & Dinner: 6 PM
Music: 7 PM – 10 PM
Bring your instrument, bring your friends, and settle in for a night of live jazz at the
Empress Marquee Club. Monday Jazz Jam is a welcoming, musician-friendly evening where players can sit in, listeners can enjoy a relaxed club atmosphere, and the music moves naturally from swinging standards to blues, ballads, Latin grooves, and spontaneous improvisation.
This week’s house band features a top-tier rhythm section ready to set the tone and keep the evening moving:
This Week’s House Band
Ben Stolorow — piano
John Wiitala — bass
Erik von Buchau — drums and vibes
Together, they’ll anchor the night with taste, experience, and musical flexibility, giving guest musicians a strong foundation to step up and join the jam. Whether you’re a horn player, vocalist, guitarist, percussionist, bassist, pianist, or simply a jazz lover, this is a night built around community, creativity, and live interaction.
Musicians Play Free + Get Dinner
Musicians play free and get dinner, making this one of Vallejo’s most inviting weekly gatherings for working players, students, seasoned improvisers, and music fans alike. Come early for dinner, grab a seat, and enjoy an evening of real-time musical conversation in the intimate setting of the Empress Marquee Club.
The jam runs from 7 PM to 10 PM, with doors and dinner beginning at 6 PM.
