Parasol Music – Jam Session

A Jam Session is an informal gathering of musicians who come together to play music, mostly without a set plan or written arrangements. More often than not it is a spontaneous, collaborative gathering wherein experimenting with different melodies, harmonies, and rhythms is desired but not at all mandatory.

When a band stages such a jam session in their own rehearsal room, it’s almost as if it takes place within their home, which could be referred to as “House Music.” Though the traditional term House Music relates more to traditional folk music, popular for centuries within the Alpine regions in Europe (often played during long winter nights and among families, relatives or friends) and not to electronic (dance) music.
