    a willingness to stretch boundaries while remaining true to the music's origin.
    a synergy between players and audience that results in circular energy.
    when the music plays the band.

    When the people you are jamming with are on the same page. And you feel that energy, I couldn't describe to you how it feels. Its just an amazing feeling when you finish the jam and you think to yourself "That was good tunes"
