About the jam
The Community Jazz Jam — formerly the SwingTime AllStar Jam — is a community-run programme giving musicians a regular chance to play live jazz together. It runs 2–3 PM on the last Saturday of every month, alternating between Taylor Towers and Michener Extendicare, and has not missed a month since 2022 — the longest run of any jazz jam in Red Deer.
Musicians of all levels are welcome.
More live music in Red Deer and Central Alberta
The Red Deer music scene is bigger than jazz. For the weekly open mics and jams around town — The Vat, D2 Bar & Stage, Sawback Brewing, Leah’s and the Ross Street Patio — see Where to play this week. Red Deer Marquee lists live shows across Central Alberta — music, theatre, hockey, markets — and Alberta Current does the same for the whole province. Both are free to read, and free to list on.
