JAMS - HANGS - HOME RECORDINGS -- BACK -- HOME
|
The term ronjam was coined by Steve Rucker to describe the many jams Ron had organized through the years he taught at UM. The jams were in his office, FB226, The drum shack, or the small group rehearsal rooms when an ensemble had completed preparation for the important Forum performance. The recorded jams at UM included Rick Margitza, Rich Huffman, Gary Keller, Van Romain, Steve and a number of bass players, and many former students that came trough Miami while on the road with a major band. And of course, many others who can email Ron to remind him of their participation - he was at UM for 35 years! Ronjams have continued at Ron's house after his retirement. The best part of that venue is is Seilor grand piano - kinda a poor man's Bosendorfer - it is a $35K piano. And he has an good recording setup for documentation. Ronjams in Dania Beach have included: Gary Keller, Francois Theberge, Brandon Wright, Carlos Vega, Xavier Perez, Jason Carder, David Fernandez, Chandler Weber, Austin McMann, Russ Kleiner, Jamey Ousley, John Dadurka, and of course, the house rhythm section, Steve Rucker and Jeff Carswell. Anyone with plans to be in the area please post on your iCal to email Ron to set up a jam. info@ronjam.com |
