Sweet Jam Band was formed at (the sadly now closed) Liverpool venue MelloMello during early January 2013 as a modification of the group, Carpet Trip (a group of unemployed musicians, who enjoyed played jazz standards).

With the drive of original pieces being formed, MelloMello set Sweet Jam Band as a monthly act to help continue the voice of jazz improvisation alongside cross-genre acts like Dead Hedge Trio, the Midnight Ramble and MOA, just to mention a few acts.

Alongside the Liverpool Council excessively huge city centre property use and business rates - for which public donates at that time helped extend MelloMello’s existence - Sweet Jam continued by involving a variety of local musicians: Nick Branton (saxes), Martin Smith (trumpets), Gerard Harrison (keyboard), Anton Hunter (guitar), Rory Ballantyne (guitar), Dean Ravera (double-bass), Dan Kirkham and Michael Metcalfe (drums).

With recent support from the Bluecoat, Sweet Jam Band advanced further as a truly gripping collective of high-level professional musicians and contemporary composers.
