Hard to say for me, but I always feel safe with a Jazz III lol.

Hi Lemmy, does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

When COSMIC Terminal is on Light theme, vim's cursor is barely visible.

I've tried changing the cursor background color on Vim, as well as Vim's theme. But neither of those two options seems to make a difference.

What should I change/add? I'll make a v2 based on comments.

Obviously this is a lighthearted, semi-joke post lol.

Made with the combo setting in mind. Big band maybe requires a different list.

We just released our first music video!

Please give it a listen, and if you have time, share some thoughts. We want to know what you think! :)

It was our first time at the studio, so lessons were learned. It's also our first time doing a music video lol (used kdenlive on Linux, it was a bit painful because I've never done this kinda thing, but I think next time it'll be easier).

Are jazz guitarrists able to play a song in a "solo guitar" setting without arranging in advance, just from a lead sheet?

I'd appreciate any advice from jazz guitarrists on how to develop this skill.

As a beginner guitarrist, I can appreciate the craft that goes into playing a bassline, chord melodies, all at the same time on just six strings, while also stablishing a groove. It would blow my mind if people can improvise all that on the spot.

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about, the one just before the solos.

What do you call sections like that? Tutti, interlude, "the crazy part"?

The only other example I know, apart from Chick Corea, is "Las Pulgas Freeway" Eugenio Toussaint. If you know other examples please do share :D

What are modern tunes that might become jazz standards? E.g., songs that are being played in your local jazz scene, at your school, etc.

Not necessarilly universally acknowledged as standards, I'm just curious what modern tunes are fun to play in a jazz setting. Stuff like Strasbourg / St. Denis, videogame and movie soundtracks, etc.
