Most of the time I would get stuck with not so good players but like u said it’s a jam. To me a jam is where people that are just learning or not very good have a chance to play on a stage. It’s not for pro players. The only thing good about a jam for a pro musician is that if you were like me it was a chance to meet people and get your name out there.

I agree with your opinion on jams, however they have their place. I use them to meet other musicians in the area, or to try out new material. Also, it gives non professionals an opportunity to get out in front of an audience and feel like a rock star. Live music in any form is good for musicians. Would you rather have a DJ being paid or worse Karaoke?
