The Jelly Jam may sound a little familiar to progressive rock fans. The lineup of the band is essentially the same as that of
Platypus, with one difference. That difference is that where
Platypus had a keyboardist (
Derek Sherinian),
the Jelly Jam does not. That change left the group with
John Myung (
Dream Theater),
Ty Tabor (
King's X), and
Rod Morgenstein (
the Dixie Dregs,
Winger). The group's self-titled debut was released in 2002. ~ Gary Hill, All Music Guide
