professional acts weekly during term. In addition, student bands hosting the jam began to more often be less-established student ensembles rather than a house band. Events JazzSoc runs a weekly jam at The Mad Hatter on Iffley Road, Oxford. The jam typically opens with a house band set featuring either an up-and-coming jazz ensemble, student or otherwise, or a more widely renowned professional artist. The floor is then opened to everyone and anyone with a desire to jam. Notable performances have included Escape Hatch (Ivo Neame, Andrea Di Biase, Dave Hamblett), Adam Waldmann (of MOBO winning Kairos 4Tet), Gareth Lockrane, David Newton, Tina May, the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2014 winner Alex Bone, Nigel Price, Binker Golding on his debut album release tour, Rob Luft, Waaju, Nihilism, Brother's Testament, and more. JazzSoc primarily sends information about its events to its members via its Facebook page "JazzSoc – Oxford University" and its mailing list, hosted by the Oxford University IT services. As of 2020, JazzSoc replenished its membership card supplies due to large demand, and launched a record label to give student bands the opportunity to produce and release their music on digital platforms.
