Studio Jams - The Series For me, there's been very little to praise about the programming on BET.
However, a year or two ago, they regularly aired a series called Studio Jams. The premise of the show was to assemble a group of musicians from different styles and genres that most times had never played together before. They would decide on a few tunes, work out arrangements and then record them. This series now has its own website (www.studiojams.com) and YouTube Channel (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=AceEntertainmentInc&view=videos) where each video features a segment of one of the over 40 episodes in the series. ...General overview ...Studio Jams #3 Russell Ferrante - Keyboards Jimmy Haslip - Bass Marcus Baylor - Drums Bob Mintzer - Saxophones Andre Ryabov - Guitar Doc Gibbs - Percussion ...Studio Jams #12 Terence Blanchard - Trumpet Bobby Lyle - Keyboards Lionel Loueke - Guitar Chico Huff - Bass Kendrick Scott - Drums Edgardo Cintron - Percussion ...Studio Jams #28 Gerald Albright - Sax Gerald Veasley - Bass James Rouse - Drums Jef Lee Johnson - Guitar Will Brock - Keyboards ...Studio Jams #39 Jeff Berlin - Bass Rodney Holmes - Drums Jef Lee Johnson - Guitar Jaared Arosemena - Sax The beauty of all this for me (beyond their skills as musicians) is how all these individuals (Jazzers, Rockers, Smoothers, World, etc) can come to a mutually beneficial agreement on what to play and how to play certain tunes, working through their initial fears (some of them anyway) and aprehensions (generally about their own abilities). Personally, I see a strong analogy here with how people in general could learn to come together for a common goal. A very meaningful Reality Series for a change. tA  Tribal Disorder

Many of the initial episodes were done there. And you know these cats are aware of the history. tA Tribal Disorder
