Our recent interview with Josh Clark of Tea Leaf Green touched on the touchy subject of being labeled a “jamband” and there’s little doubt the debate will continue for some time. It is nice to see authors outside of the typical jamband community standing up for improvisation in rock and roll while calling out their peers for being lazy with their modifiers. Or maybe we’ll just have to start calling anything that stretches into improv territory post-new-psyche-jam-wave.
