	Jam band
		The term jam band is commonly used to describe psychedelic-rock influenced bands whose concerts largely consist of bands reinterpreting their songs as springboards into extended improvisational pieces of music.
		While The Grateful Dead are generally accepted to be the founders of the jam band scene, the concept of spontaneous improvisation of music is by no means their invention.
		Early jazz musicians both pioneered the idea of improvisation and coined the term 'jam', though these 'jam sessions' tended to be completely free of constraints, whereas bands in the jam-scene tend to use the pretense of being confined by the boundaries of the song they are 'jamming out'.

	Jam On It!!: The Inaugral Jammys and new Jam Band Releases
		And there are some legends that pre-date the jam bands era (Maceo Parker), but their music is definitely an influence on the development of the idiom.
		Its bands like the Slip that are the excellent ambassadors for the jam band scene – their sense of improvisation and ability to craft their show towards an audience will give jam bands even more credibility.
		In all cases the jams are highlighted by the unique funkiness of the Stick (this instrument is "tapped" and allows for simultaneous bass and guitar playing), the piercing solos of both the acoustic and electric violins and a wide variety of percussion instruments.

	The Other Ones - A Guide to Recent Jam Band Releases (Album Review)
		And given that groups such as Phish — an ensemble that is frequently used as the poster child for jam bands — often incorporate carefully orchestrated and pre-scripted segments of progressive rock into their concerts — well, that blows the definition so wide-open as to make it a rather useless marketing gimmick.
		The band is clearly in the hands of guitarist Bobby Lee Rodgers who wrote an overwhelming majority of the songs and produced this release.
		There are nearly as many jam band compilations as there are jam bands themselves, and these aggregations continue to be a better value than the offerings of any of the individual artists.

	Jam session - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational.
		The Minton's jams were a fertile meeting place and proving ground for both established soloists like Ben Webster and Lester Young, and the younger jazz musicians who would soon become leading exponents of the bebop movement, including Thelonious Monk (Minton's house pianist), Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie.
		The Minton's jams were legendary for their highly competitive "cutting contests", in which soloists would try to keep up with the house band and outdo each other in improvisation skill.

		he jam band’s goal is to grab hold of a mood and hang on to it just long enough to leave the audience longing for a change of pace — and then give it to them when they are so starved their mouths water for change.
		The distorted sounds that came from the four-member band’s instruments bounced off the chandeliers, high ceilings, columns and walls of the historic theater for three and a half hours, including a half-hour break between the two sets and a brief pause before the encore.
		When the band left the stage the audience roared with cheers and shouts of “Yeah Disco Biscuits!” If jam bands truly are judged by their audience’s reactions, then they were successful in rocking the State Theatre Friday night.

		Renaming themselves Pearl Jam, the band recorded their debut album, Ten, in the beginning of 1991, although it wasn't released until August; in the meantime, the majority of the band appeared on the Andrew Wood tribute project Temple of the Dog.
		Pearl Jam's audience continued to grow during 1992, thanks to a series of radio and MTV hits, as well as successful appearances on the second Lollapalooza tour and the Singles soundtrack (Stone Gossard also embarked on a side project called Brad, which released the album Shame in early 1993).
		Pearl Jam supported the record with a full-scale arena tour in the summer of 1998, issuing the concert LP Live on Two Legs at the end of the year; Jack Irons did not participate due to poor health, and was replaced by ex-Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron.
