No one has replied to this??? And it's such a good question!!

Jam is a term from the late 1960's and early 70's. Michael is from that era. Simply, it means to let the music flow, to let it go ..... to let the musicians make it whatever it wants to be .... to lose restraints, and to allow creative energy to take control.

So, the idea is probably as old as the history of music

But sometimes, in live performances, jam can be planned or staged. So it isn't really "jam" because it's not spontaneous.

I'm sure that it can be explained more simply, or better. But does this help?

Check out any live performance by the grateful dead, phish, widespread panic, umphrey's mcGee, or moe. for examples of jams. I love it.

To "jam" in music means a group of musicians playing freely and seeing what comes out of it.

Jam can also mean a sticky substance, usually made from fruit and sugar used to coat toast or scones or cakes for a breakfast or midmorning treat.

in this instance, jam is also a homonym if the music video is taken into consideration.

the video has michael jackson teaching basketball legend michael jordan how to dance and michael jordan teaching michael jackson how to play basketball. thus the alternate meaning to jam = to dunk a basketball.

[Jester]

No, "dunk" means to dunk, "jam" means to play

Red is correct. In U.S. English slang, you can also jam a basketball.

There is also an American phrase, a play on Greek words and fraternity/sorority societies: phi-slamma-jamma. If you can dunk a basketball, colorfully and "with feeling", then you're a member of the phi-slamma-jamma club.

You can also stuff a basketball, you can swish it, and so forth. If you can watch an American basketball game with **** Vitale as the announcer, then you'll master most of our basketball cliches.

But we don't want to confuse our friend m@ys@m
