T1 Jam Sessions in Madrid's Blues Scene: Musical Experience in Hybrid Performance Models
A1 Pedro, Josep
AB Examining the differences between presentational and participatory music, this paper exploresthe importance of jam sessions as hybrid participatory-presentational performance models andcollective musical practices. As such, they display democratic and hierarchic devices thatproduce complex social and cultural settings, providing particular frameworks for communitygathering and interaction between the different participants. Based on my field research inMadrid’s blues scene, where jam sessions have proliferated widely, I will discuss two significantand distinct jams that take place every Sunday. The aim is to practically analyse what type ofmusical experiences and relationships they produce, considering the significance of the bluesgenre production and the underground status of the scene. I intend to broaden the academicinterpretation of jam sessions, suggesting hybridity as a theoretical framework for analysing thesocial life of situated live music experiences in different genres.
