Page 2 of the article makes reference to how jam bands can benefit from these new record deals.

I can\'t decide on whether this kind of deal is good or bad for a starting (starving) artist.

interesting article. thank you so much for posting it.

although it did kind of make me sick that all of a sudden people are waking up to jam music and trying just to capitalize on it monetarily.

gawd i\'ve been saying that for years.

a lot of jamheads would NOT be down with big label contracts but i think it\'s great because it exposes ACTUAL TALENT AND GOOD MUSIC to people who are only exposed to bullshit pop they hear on the radio. But if jambands become the next "pop fad," what happens to the underground scene?

the music industry is **** up

Anything that spreads more music to more people is a good thing.  It would be justice if the big labels let the market decide what to buy as opposed to dictating to the market that they must buy, e.g., Justin Timberlake (by paying clear channel to play it over and over and over and over...)

The only problem with jam is, like jazz, improve performances take up too much time on the airwaves.  If stations make money by the adds,  playing an extended cut = losing money.

"attention from business partners who might help market spinoffs like a fragrance or sneaker line. "

Could we someday see Air Palmeiri\'s or A Calvin Klein line of Ron Spears Cologne?
