The term jam band" is used to categorize a type of music that
favours improvisation and musicianship over concise riffs, hooks,
and traditional songwriting structure. The term also helps define
the fiercely dedicated fans of the music as accurately as it does
the bands. Much as with the Grateful Dead,the progenitors of the
jam band scene,the survival of the scene depends upon a symbiotic
relationship with fans. Jam bands nurture a close relationship with
their fans, fostered through constant touring and the mutual belief
that each performance is a unique, shared event. JAMerica tells the
story of the roots, evolution, values, and passion of the jam band
scene in the words of those who know it best. Modeling itself on
such books as Edie: American Girl by George Plimpton and Jean Stein
(an oral history of the life of Edie Sedgewick ) and Please Kill
Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk by Legs McNeil and Gillian
McCain, the book is an oral history of the jam band scene,
integrating stories from such bands as the Grateful Dead, Phish,
Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, moe., Leftover Salmon, String
Cheese Incident, Umphrey's McGee, and dozens more. Interviews focus
on the history of individual bands and how they communally shaped
the larger jam band community, along with songwriting,
relationships with fans, business models, and the importance
(including the joys and war stories) of touring, including early
gigs and venues (e.g. the Wetlands in New York City and the
landmark H.O.R.D.E. Festival) that supported the emergence of the
jam band scene.
