WHAT IS THE WHUMP-FOR-ALL OPEN JAM?
–Whumpf is a fully-improvisation-based collective of musicians whose sole mission is to MAKE UP MUSIC ON THE SPOT AND MAKE CONNECTIONS THROUGH LISTENING AND SHARING IN THE ADVENTURE OF SONIC EXPLORATION!
-The Whump-for-all Open Jam at Knotted Root Brewing Company, held every other Thursday from 6:30-9pm, features a brief opening jam to by hosts Eric Keeney (bass) and Kirk Kubicek (drums) joined by the week’s special guest collaborator to get the improv juices flowing. We play a short jam or two (20ish mins), where we will not talk about what we are going to do before we do it. We will make it up in the moment, listen to each other’s ideas, and create a unique tapestry of rhythm and sound. We don’t talk about chords or keys or time signatures or feels all that much- WE JUST PLAY WHAT WE FEEL/HEAR!
-Once we finish the opening jam, we open it up to whoever has shown up to join in the improvisation! We will have a list for players to sign up on so we can curate BRAND NEW combinations of musicians and make NEW SOUNDS! We encourage our fellow players to embrace the unknown and play in the same open and free spirit!
