At Boston Swing Central, we love when our universe collides and we can experience some of our favorite artists coming together to craft something similar to what we’ve heard from each of them separately, but also unique, fresh and spontaneous. That is what happens every Tuesday at Mona’s on Ave B in New York. You’ll find the core members of Mona’s Hot Four holed up for a trad jazz jam session that rivals any in the world. Musicians filter in around 11pm and queue up to get a chance to sit in with the Hot Four, with the towering names of Dennis Lichtman on clarinet, Gordon Webster on piano, Jared Engel on upright and Nick Russo on guitar.

Here they can be heard at the Jalopy theater, where they played a show in celebration of a documentary that was produced about their famed jam session:

Seriously, you don’t want to miss this intimate, improvisational and exciting performance! We’ll also be joined by some guest musicians who are dancers and regular players at Boston Swing Central to recreate the spontaneous vibe of Mona’s.
