The place I was talking about was not as there was a lot of drinking and as I said it was loud. Not sure if they charged. Kind of reminds of the loft scene in NYC in the 70's when jazz musicians would play private gigs in peoples lofts.

I hope the neighbors are sympathetic. I use to live in JP and for a while this bunch of so called musicians did this kind of thing in a basement a few doors down from where I lived. It was loud, obnoxious and the cops shut it down. They tried to keep doing it for a while but in the end they just did not figure it out. You can't make that much noise at night and after 10 PM it becomes a nuisance. They must have a very sympathetic landlord as well. The liability of doing this pretty huge. Unlicensed music shows in a residence. It’s nice that they are taking control of the situation to some degree. I hope the neighbors are sympathetic.

Does not imply BAD. Although the word can be used in that context, clearly not in this case.

I am just a carpenter, and I was trying to figure out why you'd talk so glowingly then saythat they were notorious. Notoriety, remember, means being famous for something BAD.
