A very good thread and a good question. When I think of prog I do think of innovation and when I think of jam I think improvisation (I'm not saying that jam bands aren't creative). The best place to start would be the late 1960s here, as San Francisco had some of the pivotal Jam style bands of the time the Grateful Dead, Moby Grape and Quicksilver Messenger Service etc The east coast had the Allman Brothers Band. Whilst the groundwork for prog was being laid down by the likes of the Moody Blues and Procul Harum in the UK. There are some drastic differences but there are also some great similiarities as well, which hopefully can be debated over.
