What is a "jam session"?
A jam session is an informal gathering where musicians come together to play music spontaneously. During a jam session, participants improvise and collaborate on music, often without pre-rehearsed arrangements. It allows musicians to experiment with different styles, techniques, and melodies in a relaxed setting, and can involve a range of genres and instruments. Jam sessions are a popular way for musicians to practice, create new material, and enjoy a shared musical experience.
Examples
The musicians gathered in the basement for an jam session, trading solos and feeding off each other's energy.
