eJamming, Inc. operated as a developer of online music collaboration software, founded in 2001 by Gail Kantor, Alan Jay Glueckman, and Bill Redmann. The company aimed to resolve the technical hurdles of latency and bandwidth that had previously prevented musicians from collaborating in real-time over the internet. Kantor brought decades of experience as a music and television producer, and a backup singer for artists like Bette Midler and James Brown. Glueckman's background was in business, marketing, and over 25 years as a screenwriter, producer, and director for major studios. Redmann contributed his expertise as a technologist and inventor with multiple patents, having worked as a Disney Imagineer and at Technicolor.
The company's core product, eJamming AUDiiO, was a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that enabled musicians to play, record, rehearse, and write music together live from different geographical locations. The technology synchronized high-fidelity audio streams between users, aiming to create a seamless jamming experience with minimal discernible lag. It featured a 'Jam Mode' for up to four musicians to connect simultaneously and a 'Virtual Recording Studio' mode for building songs track-by-track. The platform was designed for a wide range of users, from amateurs looking to connect with new players to professional bands needing a remote rehearsal solution.
eJamming's business model was based on monthly subscriptions for its service. After a beta period, the company transitioned to a paid model in mid-2009. The company raised approximately $2.4 million through angel and seed funding rounds, with investors including Allen & Company and New York Angels. A significant milestone was a 2010 partnership with Fender Musical Instruments Corporation to co-market their products and services. Despite its efforts and patented technology, the company eventually ceased operations, with its status listed as 'Out of Business' as of July 2019.
