Don't know about demos but have now had the following info confirmed separately from two good sources, both of whom were spot on when they informed me back in December about the London jam session while it was still happening.
The Rolling Stones are currently - ie, today, May 1st - in a studio together in New York having another jam session.
I don't know what studio and I dont know what other personnel, apart from the four band members, are involved. I haven't been given a gag order this time, so that's why I'm not waiting any longer to post the info.
The ONLY details I've been told is that Keith is 'sober and playing very well'.
I'd imagine that if there's a keyboard player, it'll be Chuck as he was playing at Jazzfest in New Orleans at the weekend, whereas Ben Waters has shows in England this weekend.
Ya heard it here foist!

Well that is the best news we have heard in months. I knew Ronnie and Mick were just doing and "damage control" in retracting Ronnie's comments now that Ronnie spilled some beans...
I think the idea of them all in a studio together jamming and bouncing different ideas off each-other is a nice way to go about it to see what direction a new recorded product will start to shape from as well as to see if any new material can emerge from it this way. It may spur more creativity this time out as opposed to the standard Mick and Keith writing session. Would be cool to hear a combination of both of these approaches to see what fruit it'll bring this time.
