It's more about "Jammin'" than it is about "Java" at Jammin' Java in Vienna, a music club that replaced a failing coffee shop with what has become one of the premier live music venues in the region.
Today's Jammin' Java (the name survived from its previous incarnation) is a creation of the Brindley brothers, three young men with virtually no business experience but with plenty of youthful audacity and a vision of an eclectic, live music club.
While Jammin' Java may be best known by music fans of all ages around the region as a great nighttime venue, a visit during the noon hour hints at still another side of the business.

 Gamelan of Central Java IV: Spiritual Music - CD / cdRoots
Though attitudes of younger generations on the island are gradually shifting towards a more secular appreciation of music, no longer regarding it as exclusively the province of mysticism and religion, a spiritual notion of music-making nonetheless persists in the region.
We hear the choir declaim two poems while the music played by the gamelan (in two separate scales, pelog and slendro) refers to that which normally accompanies the Bedhaya dance of the Kraton (royal palace) of Surakarta.
To a Western listener accustomed to considering music in terms of pure enjoyment, these recordings may be of particular value since they amply demonstrate how gamelan music can attain a level beyond that of pure aesthetic pleasure, reaching towards a mysticism.
