Rhythm Sessions – a Lindy and Blues event and West Philadelphia’s monthly jam for jazz dance, jazz music, and jazz fans – is happening again this Sunday, April 13 at Studio 34 on Baltimore Ave. in West Philly.

The event, which is typically the third Sunday of every month, has been moved up due to the Easter holiday, and this weekend’s session features music by Philly jazz band Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five. If you haven’t experienced Chelsea Reed live before, it is nothing short of an experience, knocking you back to the Bessie Smith era of the 1920’s and 30’s in the most authentic fashion.

With the cozy ambiance of Studio 34, the high energy tunes of Chelsea Reed and a BYOF policy (bring your own food), the all ages event is perfect for friends, family, and the like. No ticket is required to attend, just a donation suggestion of $10, but that’s up to you. Get more information on the event here. Watch Chelsea Reed and the Fairweather Five perform their own rendition of “Everybody Loves My Baby” below.
