Grateful Dead - Grateful Dead The Grateful Dead were an American rock band, which was formed in the mid 1960s in San Francisco from the remnants of another band, Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions. In 1965 the band made the stylistic switch from folk music to rock music, with Jerry Garcia, Ron Pigpen McKernan and Bob Weir from the Jug Champions joined by Bill Kreutzmann and Phil Lesh, and in 1967 - the band's breakthrough year - another percussionist, Mickey Hart. Playing originally as The Warlocks, and later "The Grateful Dead" (a name inspired by the Egyptian Book of the Dead), they became the de facto resident band of Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters, with the early sound heavily influenced by Kesey's LSD-soaked Trips Festivals. This early period is covered.

Ken Kesey - these drugs, both during the study and in his own experimentation. It was at this time he wrote One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which caught the attention of many, including "beat" poet Neal Cassady, who had accompanied Jack Kerouac on the trip described in Kerouac's On the Road. With the commercial success of his first novel in 1962, Kesey moved to La Honda, in the mountains outside of San Francisco. He frequently entertained friends with parties he called "Acid Tests" involving music (such as Kesey's favorite band, The Warlocks, later known as the Grateful Dead), black lights, fluorescent paint, strobes, and other "psychedelic" effects, and of course LSD (often slipped surreptitiously into a punch). When the publication of his second novel Sometimes a Great Notion in 1964 required his presence.

Jam band - it does provide a label for vastly different bands for whom the only link to each other is this improvisation. While the Grateful Dead are generally accepted to be the founders of the jam band scene, the concept of spontaneous improvisation of music is by no means their invention. Early jazz musicians both pioneered the idea of improvisation and coined the term 'jam', though these 'jam sessions' tended to be completely free of constraints, whereas bands in the jam-scene tend to use the pretense of being confined by the boundaries of the song they are 'jamming out'.

Jazz fusion - beyond the short "radio single" song format and incorporating elements of jazz-like extended instrumental improvisation. Michael Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield, both young white blues musicians, recorded extended versions of Adderly's "Work Song" and a modal improvisation, "East/West" as early as 1966-67; other groups, particlarly those based in San Francisco (Santana, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane) and in the U.K. (Cream, King Crimson, Pink Floyd) also performed, and eventually recorded, both extended improvisations on short song forms, and longer, multipart compositions. Jazz artists, in the wake of developments in pop music, also began using the recording studio, with improved editing, multitrack recording, and electronic effects capability, as a adjunct to actual composition and improvisation. Davis' "Bitches' Brew", (a cornerstone recording of the genre) for instance, features two "extended" (more than 20 minutes each).
Jefferson Airplane - the San Francisco scene, the band released Volunteers (1969), their most political venture. Balin and Dryden left shortly thereafter. Two albums were released on the band's own label Grunt, these being Bark and Long John Silver before Casedy and Kaukonen also left. The live album 30 Seconds Over Winterland (1973) is now best remembered for its cover art, featuring a squadron of flying toasters. Solo careers and the attractions of other bands beckoned. In 1989 an album was released by Columbia Broadcasting System. By 1974 Kantner had formed Jefferson Starship with Aynsley Dunbar on percussion and others and at least four albums were recoded under that name. However, following some (potential?) legal challenges the tenuous nature of the link with their radical predecessors was recognised and the band recorded simply as.
Jerry Garcia - US army, he became involved in the psychedelic revolution and subsequent musical movement brewing in the San Francisco Bay area in the mid 1960s. Jerry Garcia's outlet was music, and his subsequent involvement with the Grateful Dead was to see his fame burgeon. From 1965-1995 the band toured almost constantly, developing a fan base, known as Deadheads, renowned for its intensity and devotion. In addition to the Grateful Dead, he had numerous side projects. The most notable being the Jerry Garcia Band which had a variety of several different groupings of musicians, often described as Jerry Garcia Band, Legion of Mary, Reconstruction, and finally The Jerry Garcia Band, he also was involved with various acoustic vehicles such as Old and In the Way, and other Bluegrass bands, including collaborations with David.

Joan Osborne - failure; it fell off the charts quickly. Osborne was featured in the 2002 film Standing in the Shadows of Motown and toured with legendary Motown sidemen The Funk Brothers. She and her band accompanied the Dixie Chicks for a national tour in the summer of 2003, during which time she also joined veteran San Francisco jam-rockers The Dead (see Grateful Dead) as a vocalist, and released her third album, titled How Sweet It Is, a collection of classic rock and soul covers..
John Stark - ordered Major General William Howe to prepare to land his troops. Thus began the Battle of Bunker Hill (which should have been called the battle of Breed's Hill). American Colonel William Prescott held the hill throughout the intense initial bombardment with only a few hundred untrained American militia. Prescott knew that he was sorely outgunned and outnumbered. He sent a desperate request for reinforcements. Stark and his New Hampshire minutemen arrived at the scene soon after Prescott's request. The Lively had begun a rain of accurate artillery fire directed at Charlestown Neck, the narrow strip of land connecting Charlestown to the rebel positions. On the Charlestown side, several companies from other regiments were milling around in disarray, afraid to march into range of the artillery fire. Stark ordered the men to.
