jammin
Making music spontaneously
Jammin is an informal spelling of jamming, capturing the dropped g of casual speech.
Most often it describes playing music enthusiastically, especially improvised or groove-based music: We were jammin all night.
It can also mean having a good time generally, vibing: Just jammin with my friends this weekend.
