However, in his second book on the subject, 2. Jambands: A Complete Guide to the Players, Music & Scene, he explains that he only popularized it.[6]Rolling Stone magazine asserted in a 2.

These groups share a collective penchant for.Phish "was the living, breathing, noodling definition of the term" jam band, in that it became a "cultural phenomenon, followed across the country from summer shed to summer shed by thousands of new- generation hippies and hacky- sack enthusiasts, and spawning a new wave of bands oriented around group improvisation and super- extended grooves."[7] Another term for "jam band music" used in the 1. Bay Rock". It was coined by the founder of Relix magazine, Les Kippel, as a reference to the 1. San Francisco Bay Area music scene, which included The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape, among many others. By the late 1. 99. Dean Budnick, which appeared in the program for the first annual Jammy Awards in 2. Budnick co- created the show with Wetlands Preserve[8] owner Peter Shapiro).“What Is a Jam Band? Please cast aside any preconceptions that this phrase may evoke. ![]() The term, as it is commonly used today, references a rich palette of sounds and textures. These groups share a collective penchant for improvisation, a commitment to songcraft and a propensity to cross genre boundaries, drawing from a range of traditions including blues, bluegrass, funk, jazz, rock, psychedelia and even techno. In addition, the jam bands of today are unified by the nimble ears of their receptive listeners.[1]â€Although in 2. Grateful Dead- like bands such as Phish.[3] Andy Gadiel, the initial webmaster of Jambands. Jam. Base, states in Budnick's 2. Jambands that the music ".. Ambiguity[edit]By the late 1. An essay at jamband. Phish has done a cover of be included as jam band. The example was including New York post- punk band Talking Heads after Phish performed a cover of Remain In Light.[1. A broad sense of the term also became used retroactively in jam band circles for bands such as Cream[1. Grateful Dead- -- but whose live concerts usually featured several extended collective improvisations. In his October 2. Dan Greenhaus attempted to explain the evolution of a jam band as such: "At this point, what you sing about, what instruments you play, how often you tour and how old you are has become virtually irrelevant. At this point, one thing is left and, ironically, after all these years, it’s the single most important place one should focus on; the approach to the music. And the jamband or improvisational umbrella, essentially nothing more than a broad label for a diverse array of bands, is open wide enough to shelter several different types of bands, whether you are The Dave Matthews Band or RAQ."[1. The Jammy Awards have had members of non- jamming bands which were founded in the 1. Grateful Dead perform at their show such as new wave band The B- 5. The Jammys have also awarded musicians from prior decades such as Frank Zappa.[1. Some artists such as The Derek Trucks Band are known for resisting the jam band label. Dave Schools of Widespread Panic said in an interview, "We want to shake free of that name, jam band. The jam band thing used to be the Grateful Dead bands. We shook free of that as hard as we could back in 1. Then Blues Traveler came on the scene. All together, we created the H. O. R. D. E. tour, which focused a lot of attention on jam bands. Then someone coined the term jam bands. I'd rather just be called retro. When you pigeonhole something, you limit its ability to grow and change."[1. An example of a prior- era band that gained the label "jam band" through an active affiliation with the 1. The Allman Brothers Band. However, Gregg Allman has been quoted as recently as 2. Butch Trucks in stating that rather than being a jam band The Allman Brothers are "a band that jams".[1. Although Trucks suggests that this is only a difference of semantics, the term has a recent history for which it is used exclusively. An example of this discernment is the acceptance of Les Claypool as jam band in the year 2. Though famed from an entire decade with Primus (a band that jams) and solo works, it was in creating the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade with members of Ratdog and releasing Live Frogs Set 1 that as Budnick has stated "marked [Claypool's] entry into [the jamband] world."[1.

Drawing inspiration from Eric Clapton's short- lived (but influential) supergroup Cream,[citation needed] the band specialized, in concert, in improvisational jamming. They played long two- set shows, and gave their fans a different experience every night, with varying setlists, evolving songs, creative segues and extended instrumentals. Their loyal fans ("Deadheads") followed them on tour from city to city, and a hippie subculture developed around the band, complete with psychedelic clothes, a black market in concert- related products, and drug paraphernalia. The band toured regularly for nearly three decades, except for a hiatus from 1. The eventual heirs to this "Shakedown Street" fan culture, Phish, formed in 1. University of Vermont in Burlington. They solidified their lineup in 1. Grateful Dead songs in their repertoire. The Allman Brothers Band were also considered a Jam band, particularly during the Duane Allman era.
