A jam band is a musical group whose concerts and live albums substantially feature improvisational jamming. Typically, jam bands will play variations of pre-existing songs, extding them to improvise over chord patterns or rhythmic grooves. Jam bands are known for having a very fluid structure, playing long sets of music which oft cross gre boundaries, varying their nightly setlists, and segueing from one song into another without a break.
The jam-band musical style, spawned from the psychedelic rock movemt of the 1960s, was a feature of nationally famed groups such as the Grateful Dead and The Allman Brothers Band, whose regular touring schedules continued into the 1990s. The style influced a new wave of jam bands who toured the United States with jam band-style concerts in the late 1980s and early '90s, such as Phish, Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic, Dave Matthews Band, The String Cheese Incidt, and Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. The jam-band movemt gained mainstream exposure in the US in the early 1990s with the rise of Phish and the Dave Matthews Band as major touring acts and the dissolution of the Grateful Dead following Jerry Garcia's death in 1995.

By the 1990s the term jam band was applied to acts that incorporated gres such as blues, country music, contemporary folk music, funk, progressive rock, world music, jazz fusion, Southern rock, alternative rock, acid jazz, bluegrass, folk rock and electronic music into their sound.
Although the term has be used to describe cross-gre and improvisational artists, it retains an affinity to the fan cultures of the Grateful Dead or Phish.
A feature of the jam-band sce is fan recording of live concerts. While the mainstream music industry oft views fan taping as illegal bootlegging, jam bands oft allow their fans to make tapes or recordings of their live shows. Fans trade recordings and collect recordings of differt live shows, because improvisational jam bands play their songs differtly at each performance.
More Than Just A Jam Band
In the 1980s, the Grateful Dead's fan base included a large core group that followed their tours from show to show. These fans (known as Deadheads) developed a sse of community and loyalty. In the 1990s, the band Phish began to attract this fan base. The term jam band was first used regarding Grateful Dead and Phish culture in the 1980s. In 1998, Dean Budnick wrote the first book devoted to the subject, titled Jam Bands.
However, in his second book on the subject, 2004's Jambands: A Complete Guide to the Players, Music & Sce, he explains that he only popularized it.
Rolling Stone magazine asserted in a 2004 biography that Phish was the living, breathing, noodling definition of the term jam band, in that it became a cultural phomon, followed across the country from summer shed to summer shed by thousands of new-geration hippies and hacky-sack thusiasts, and spawning a new wave of bands orited around group improvisation and super-extded grooves.

Another term for jam band music used in the 1990s was Bay Rock. It was coined by the founder of Relix magazine, Les Kippel, as a referce to the 1960s San Francisco Bay Area music sce, which included the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape, among many others.
By the late 1990s, the types of jam bands had grown so that the term became quite broad, as exemplified by the definition writt by Dean Budnick, which appeared in the program for the first annual Jammy Awards in 2000 (Budnick co-created the show with Wetlands Preserve
What Is a Jam Band? Please cast aside any preconceptions that this phrase may evoke. The term, as it is commonly used today, referces a rich palette of sounds and textures. These groups share a collective pchant for improvisation, a commitmt to songcraft, and a propsity to cross gre boundaries, drawing from a range of traditions including blues, bluegrass, funk, jazz, rock, psychedelia, and ev techno. Besides, the jam bands of today are unified by the nimble ears of their receptive listers.[1]

Although in 2007 the term may have be used to describe nearly any cross-gre band, festival band, or improvisational band, the term retains an affinity to Grateful Dead-like bands such as Phish.
Andy Gadiel, the initial webmaster of Jambands.com, states in Budnick's 2004 edition of Jambands that the music ...had a link that would not only unite bands themselves but also a very large community around them.
Who for decades were categorized as a power-trio and psychedelic rock, and who wh active were largely unrelated to the Grateful Dead, but whose live concerts usually featured several extded collective improvisations. In his October 2000 column on the subject for jambands.com, Dan Grehaus attempted to explain the evolution of a jam band as such:
Middle Aged Dad Jam Band
At this point, what you sing about, what instrumts you play, how oft 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, esstially nothing more than a broad label for a diverse array of bands, is op wide ough to shelter several differt types of bands, whether you are The Dave Matthews Band or RAQ.[11]
The Jammy Awards have had members of non-jamming bands which were founded in the 1970s and were unrelated to the Grateful Dead perform at their show such as new wave band The B-52's.
Artists such as The Derek Trucks Band have resisted being labelled a jam band. 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 1989. Th Blues Traveler came on the sce. All together, we created the H.O.R.D.E. tour, which focused a lot of atttion on jam bands. Th someone coined the term jam bands. I'd rather just be called retro. Wh you pigeonhole something, you limit its ability to grow and change.
The Popularity Of Jam Band Music Festivals
An example of a prior-era band that gained the label jam band through an active affiliation with the 1990s jam band culture is The Allman Brothers Band. However, Gregg Allman has be quoted as rectly as 2003 by his fellow band member Butch Trucks in stating that rather than being a jam band, The Allman Brothers are a band that jams.
Although Trucks suggests that this is only a differce of semantics, the term has a rect history for which it is used exclusively. An example of this discernmt is the acceptance of Les Claypool as a jam band in the year 2000.
Though known for his decade with Primus (a band that jams) and solo works, it was after he created the Fearless Flying Frog Brigade with members of Ratdog and released Live Frogs Set 1 that as Budnick wrote had marked [Claypool's] try into [the jamband] world.

The band that set the template for future jam bands was the Grateful Dead, founded in 1965 by San Francisco-based guitarist Jerry Garcia. The Dead attracted an ormous cult following, mainly on the strgth of their live performances and live albums (their studio albums were only modest successes and received little radio play). The band specialized in improvisational jamming at concerts. They played long two-set shows, and gave their fans a differt experice every night, with varying set lists, evolving songs, creative segues, and extded instrumtals. Some of their fans, known as Deadheads, followed their tours 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 most of three decades.
The Allman Brothers Band were also considered a jam band, particularly during the Duane Allman era. Songs such as In Memory of Elizabeth Reed and Whipping Post, which were 5–7 minutes long on their studio albums, became 20-minute jams at concerts. The Allmans performed a 34-minute jam with the Grateful Dead in 1970. Their 1972 album Eat A Peach included Mountain Jam, a 34-minute instrumtal that was recorded live.
