Jam Bands (Paperback)

Jam Bands is a comprehensive, critical exploration of the bands and music of the genre. It provides commentaries on more than 150 groups with evaluative discographies, web guides and a look at some of the groups' celebrated live performances. It will enhance readers' appreciation of certain artists while introducing dozens of other notable bands. In addition the book digs deeper into the scene through a series of complementary essays. Budnick explores the origins and development of the genre and the term itself, and traces its genealogy through a family tree. The work provides a detailed behind-the-scenes essay on the history of the Jammy Awards. The author also elaborates on the emergence of Jambands.com and the resuscitation of Relix Magazine, selects top releases, collects some essential quotes from his conversations with all of the jam band principals over the years, and in the case of certain performers, explains, "where they are now."
