This is such a hard topic to discuss because the ideals behind the term "Jamband" are scattered very far across other genres. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are not a Jamband, yet they are ridiculous musicians that pull out crazy time signatures so we claim them as our own. Remember they are recognized in the grammy's as a jazz group. MMW are not even a jamband because they don't go off on a tangent like everyone thinks they do. All their jams are well thought out and structured in order for fluidity to be conducted in their pieces.

Festivals like Bonnaroo, Shoreline, and Lollapalooza are festivals that have good music and only good music, NOT genre specific. Shainhouse was right quoting Duke Ellington. "There is only two kinds of music, good and bad. We genre-tize bands in the media to make it easier to talk about them, and promoters label bands and stick them together". I think the audiences should evolve with the music OR step out of their JAMBAND neiche and see what else is tickles their fancies.

MY timeline into the Jam community was untraceable back in the day. I listened to music that I thought was great and I always labeled them under the genre of great music. Here is a short timeline. Arrested Development --->Blues Traveler--->Collective Soul--->Dave Matthews Band--->moe. and so forth. The Spades are not considered a Jamband, but they kick some serious butt because they are great musicians. Vanderpark has always been a Rock group yet we play in the jam community because we love the crowds openess to all types of sounds. Let us not lose this notion because that's why we all fell in love with it in the first place. Just look for the honesty in music and you'll do just fine.

"It's easy to find the bad things in life, but to find the good things always seems to be a little bit trickier"
