Artist History As an idealistic "band" coming out of the 70's, We played the jazz clubs in LA at the time, places like Vine St. Bar and Grill, Sausalito South, Bon Apetit, amd other clubs that have since closed down. JAMA always thought they would get a big record deal, and would split all the profits from the money that would roll in. Well, THAT never happened. So now, with the help of MP3.com and the generosity of Mr. Kahn, you can download the songs written by George for free. All the other songs written by other group members are available on the complete JAMA DAM CD which you can buy from MP3.com on this site. All proceeds from the sale of the DAM CD will be split equally amongst the members. We hope you enjoy this music! Perhaps it will give you a flash to an easier, simpler time.
