==History==
Djam Karet was founded at [[Pitzer College]] in 1984 by guitarists Gayle Ellett and Mike Henderson, bassist Henry J. Osborne, and drummer Chuck Oken, Jr. They've created 18 instrumental albums so far, and have played on an additional 26 compilations, EPs, and limited-edition CD-rs. They chose as the band's name an [[Indonesia]]n word (pronounced 'jam Kah-ret<ref>Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia [Complete Dictionary of the Indonesian Language], third edition, 2002</ref>) that translates loosely as "elastic time".

(EXPOSE'). Three years later in 1994, Djam Karet released the CD ''Collaborator'', with guests musicians: [[Jeff Greinke]], [[Kit Watkins]], [[Marc Anderson]], [[Steve Roach (musician)|Steve Roach]], [[Carl Weingarten]], and many others.
