Baltimore Pop-Up Jazz Jam

A jazz jam that turns up in a different Baltimore park every Thursday, run by the bassist Ed Hrybyk. Musicians bring an instrument, everyone else brings a chair. It has been to Wyman Park Dell, Mount Vernon Place, Lake Montebello, Roosevelt Park, the Rawlings Conservatory, Jubilee Arts at Penn North, Greenmount West, Barclay and the Y Not Lot. Where it lands next goes up on its Instagram and on the organiser's calendar.
