Who We Are

Tao Jam was a jam-rock band from Western Massachusetts. After ten fun years playing together and performing at parties, cafes, festivals, and various celebrations, recently we have more or less disbanded. Luckily we made a strong album, so you can still hear us play. Though we never aspired to hit the big time, we made some good music, especially our collective improvisations. Our style featured original groove tunes, mostly written by John, in the heritage of such bands as Traffic, The Grateful Dead, The Doors, and the Allman Brothers. We also played covers from some of our favorite musicians especially the Dead and Bruce Cockburn, along with a couple classic jazz tunes. For a few years we were known as the Other Side, and then changed our name to Tao Jam. When we released our CD, we honored our past by slyly titling it Greetings From the Other Side.

You can listen to clips from the CD, and order it online below. Though the band is history, the CD represents one facet of John's creative work. Check it out and please enjoy.

Album
