Live Music: Country Club revolution? The Jam is back!




Despite hosting rapper Fifty Cent ("the last entertainment show ever held on that fairway" states former manager), the Constant Spring Golf Club (est. 1902) is not the place one might readily associate with free--wheeling, experimental musical improvisation featuring a cast "of thousands" (exaggeration of course).

Some of the best instrumental and vocal talents  - homegrown and those from overseas - gathered incrementally by the Club's Fairway Tavern to expound musically. The entire cast is too large to mention, but guitarists Wayne McGregor and Jason Worton, musical siblings Joel (keys) and Jeremy Ashbourne (drums) and members of other noted jam bands, including Skygrass, From the Deep and the long absent Belgian guitarist Gerd Baens (now playing mouth harp).

The result was a lively but not overpowering potpourri of dub, rap, blues, rock and other hyrbid or previously unnamed genre that sprang to the individual and collective minds
