Definition of a Slow Jam (James Jamerson, 1969)


Back


The music industry has gotten away from glorifying the "slow jam". Today, corny ballads pose as slow jams, but they leave out one important component: the jam! In essence a slow jam is a down-tempo love song that still maintains a prominent (even muscular) bassline and solid drum beat, with some degree of attitude attached. Cheesy ballads might pose as slow jams but they are only love songs. It takes a solid groove to make a slow jam. James Jamerson was a master of the slow jam groove.
