Bob Marley sang 'we're jamming, we're jamming, we're jamming' loads of different times at loads of different speeds until eventually it stuck in our head as musicians we should be jamming and getting as many people as possible to jam however and whenever they wanted.
Jamming is musical goodness. Its not taught much as people aspire to the great and heady heights of grade 8 exams, but jamming is where musical creativity lies. The text books about what you should know as a musician and how that knowledge should look are great but jamming helps put it all together in a way that makes sense to you containing your imprint.
We like jamming a lot at Make Music Now ... so come down and jam with us on Wednesdays and Fridays through August from the seventh. We kick off at 1pm upstairs, just follow your ears.
You'll be able to jam with some great musicians whether its just one chord or a whole symphony of sound, break off into groups, write some new material and kick back with some old.
Its also good for the soul.
