Claim ID
jam-leader-varies-instruments
Assertion
Jam leaders, who decide who takes each break, often order players so that the same instrument does not take two breaks in a row; Newton argues the form of a fiddle tune grows out of this cycling through instruments.
Quote
the leader of a jam (the person who decides who takes each break) often ordering players to avoid repetition of the same instrument, if more than one of a particular instrument is present
