What happened to the Jam Sessions?

[Monika Herzig]

I'm working on a research project to evaluate the current status and need for jazz jam sessions in today's jazz pedagogy. It would be of tremendous help if any of you jazz musicians and students could take 5 minutes to answer a short survey at this link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=kqM8aQHIZ8xjFNWgiXAtsg_3d_3d
I will be glad to share any results and recommendations, but the more participants I get of any ages and level, the stronger they will be. Also, please pass this link on to any of your fellow musicians and students.
Thanks so much and do let me know if you have any further questions.

Its probably way too late to do the survey. But a quick answer could be that, if other jazz cats are anything like me, they are probably too busy gigging or trying to find more gigs to help keep food on the table, formula in the baby's bottle, and a roof over their family's head.

I have not been to a jam session in about 5 years...all because of the reasons I listed above.
