The Jelly Jam consists of guitarist and singer Ty Tabor (King's X), bass player John Myung (Dream Theater) and drummer Rod Morgenstein (Dixie Dregs, Winger). This project was a follow-up to Platypus, in which the trio played before with Derek Sherinian (former keyboardist for Dream Theater) on keyboards.
The Jelly Jam is guitar-driven, psychedelically influenced rock with the spirit of Jimi Hendrix jumping in. It is quite simply a progressive rock n' roll project. The sound is very spacey and open, with a mixture of harder hitting passages to toss up the moods of the songs.
The Jelly Jam released two albums so far: self-titled The Jelly Jam in 2002 and 2 in 2004, both under InsideOut Music.
