Hi, new forum user and new player here. My friend (who plays alto sax) and I are wanting to play Shorter's Black Nile at an upcoming jam session, and we both want to play the melody. However, we were curious about who should play what part on the tune's B section. Should I play the harmony part while my friend plays the main line on sax or vice versa? What's typical? Attached a picture of the relevant section in the sheet music. Thank you.
(Also, obligatory "sorry if this is in the wrong section")
Generally (no hard and fast rule) the sax would take the top line. Thats just because sax will blow guitar out of the water in terms of projection and the top line is usually the melody.
Listen to Miles and Milt Jackson on Bags Groove. Miles plays the melody the first time, while Milt plays the lower line. Then they switch. But whatever miles is playing sounds like the melody because of how much better the instrument cuts through.
Run through I did like 2 months ago. I tried to play it 'pianistic'. I might work it up again and try to do the Bird bridge. There are too many threads to participate in! Standards, bluez, ballads,...

Ditto Nelson Faria. He has a really good tutorial on playing bossa nova, choro and samba and understanding how those rhythms work. I played a fairly decent gringo bossa nova prior to that but it's...
If you say so! I had to ask, as this was probably not the case for figured bass (which we were also talking about). I could ask my friend though...

I bought the 17” campy. Im driving out to pick it up next week. I don’t know Mike but I have followed his messages for years and I am humbled to be the care taker of his wonderful Campy.
I'm no dendrologist, luthier, etc., but this looks like old-growth Braz RW to me and unlike any East Indian board I've ever encountered. But I humbly defer to any experts on this forum.
There’s tons of stuff like that in the OG Real Book. Don’t know how much of that survived the cut to sixth edition. How many cats have ever tried to busk Peaches en Regalia on a jam, I wonder?

If all other aspects of the amp is perfect then adding a jack socket for an external speaker could be a simple solution.
If this also disconnects the internal speaker you could insert a dummy jack...
These guys get a great sound for bossa.

Oh, and I do not believe the Line Out in the 100 watt versions (or the newer K50EX) disconnects the speaker. The Volume knob on the amp affects the Line Out volume while the Master on the amp...
