"recorded music= a "jam"
I personally have never heard the term "jam" used to describe recorded Music other than in the name of the recording Label 'Def Jam'
I have heard it used in these ways:
Jam = Musicians improvising (a Jam session)
Jamming = a Musican or Band improvising onstage.
Jammin (Jamaican patoi) = celebration, dancing.
