Jazz Jam Night at Papa Haydn | Quinn Thornton (College Freshman) on piano

On December 23, 2025, I caught an open jazz jam night at Papa Haydn in Portland, Oregon — a room full of musicians who mostly don’t know each other, don’t have charts, and don’t rehearse… yet somehow sound remarkably cohesive. This recording spans four tunes and features volunteer musicians drawn straight from the patrons of the restaurant and bar. What stood out to me most was watching my friend Quinn Thornton, a college freshman, step into the mix and comfortably hold his own alongside seasoned adult players. No ego, no spotlight — just listening, reacting, and playing the music. The video was shot very casually on a Sony A7S III, using only the camera’s built-in microphone — no external audio recorder, no special lighting, no S-Log, and not in 4K. This was very much a run-and-gun / fly-on-the-wall capture, but I think that rawness fits the spirit of a real jazz jam: spontaneous, imperfect, and alive. If you enjoy candid live music, jazz culture, or seeing young musicians grow into the tradition, I hope you enjoy this moment as much as I did. 00:10 - Song 1 04:43 - Piano Solo 1 11:19 - Song 2 15:51 - Piano Solo 2 20:07 - Song 3 25:55 - Piano Solo 3 29:37 - Song 4 30:10 - Piano Solo 4 📍 Papa Haydn — Portland, OR 📅 December 23, 2025
