Many thanks to the guys who've run this jam since 2005, namely Tom Weismann, Bob Paskowsky, and Jeff Martin (aka "the Tom Kats"), and to the Swigwam management & staff for their support.

![]() Play drums? - Read this. Play guitar, keys, blues harp, horn or sax? - Read this. 1) Avoid playing over other musician's solos or vocals. And squelch the urge to fill every space with a note, or passage with a riff. This is especially relevant to horns and harps because: a) they're typically the most obvious when they do and, b) unlike guitars, their levels can't be adjusted later in the mix. 2) PAY ATTENTION to the other musicians. There's nearly always someone (usually the singer or lead instrumentalist on the song) who will alert you to key, solos, stops, volume and/or tempo changes, so pay attention when you're on stage. Special Note regarding 1 and 2 above: Not all songs will be posted online for
any given date due to the time constraints on mixing them. The songs where everyone's
playing at once with no semblance of harmony, or where people are playing over others'
solos and vocals, will be among the first to be cut. |
