About Jam Straight
Jam Straight was formed by Jerry Squillante (drums), Neil Nappi (guitar) and Jim Nappi (bass), all hailing from Bergen County, NJ in the summer of 2005. The two brothers and distant cousin performed as a trio for several years appearing at local venues and backyard parties with a groovy combination of original and cover music ranging from the Allman Brothers to Frank Zappa. During this time several old and new friends appeared with the band in different capacities. Elise Carter (flute), Chris Reed (sax) and Bob Trostle (harmonica) are several outstanding local Jammers who appeared with the band during this time. With each special guest the band learned new songs and stretched out in ways they probably wouldn’t have otherwise. These musical compadres helped Jam Straight find it’s “sound” and continue to sit in with the band to this day when schedules allow.
