The spirit of the jam... Live recording...
Musical communion. A passion for making music and sharing the experience
with good friends was the impetus that began the regular studio-based
jam-sessions that evolved into Jam Camp.
From a fluid line-up of awesome NW musicians, a stable and startlingly
original ensemble emerged and was officially dubbed Jam Camp in
1989.
This is a band that creates musician's music: fusionesque rock improv
in the vein of The Allman Brothers, Zappa, Crimson, Soft Machine,
Brand X and Traffic.
Jam Camp grooves, embracing a "live" feel-based approach to music
appealling to fans of Prog, Rock, Jazz and Jam alike.
The real thing - "Super Session" magic like you used to hear when
rock experimentation was mainstream fare. Enjoy a band that really
enjoys music. Experience synchronous musical epiphany. Welcome to
Jam Camp!
Black Hills Jam
Black Hills Jam is Classic Rock to
the core - a celebration of innovative guitar-interplay with a solid
jam-band groove. This CD features 70 minutes of new and original
music. The tracks range from an Allman-esque jam to heavy metal
bebop to a psychedelic acid-rock riff-fest and visits all points
between. Black Hills Jam is a reminder of how exciting music was
when experimentation was mainstream rock-n-roll fare. This genre-defining
classic is a disc all fans of rock, jazz and jam will appreciate.
Jam Camp
With this debut release, Jam Camp strives
to recapture the excitement of classic jam sessions, placing soul
and statement before gimmick and hook.
Beyond Rock
Progressive-rock in the truest sense, BEYOND ROCK features ten of
the West Coast's most eclectic ensembles pushing past the limits
of formulaic pop to create original, intelligent music for thinking
listeners. The music compares favorably with the art-rock experimentation
of bands like Soft Machine, Yes, Pink Floyd, Renaissance and UK.
The cover of this masterwork boasts the surreal "Headspin", a mind-blowing
original oil by Matthew Skenandore.
