Alright. Let's do this. I'll get some stuff together over the next few days.

Hey Rag,
I disagree... It's OK to not jump in on everything all at once. But when one has an idea of what something is, it usually helps get better results.
I don't think the original Practical standards thread is going to change, the same few players can still post and comment. It's still a cool thread, but if some want to learn how to play Jazz tunes in Jazz styles as compared to learning how to play pop tunes in jazz styles..... a new thread might help develop the skills of playing in a Jazz style etc...
It's not really an either or, maybe just more choices. And if the thread gets.... more accomplished jazz players,( I'm just one of many avg. players), involved with playing examples... I can't see how this would hurt, I really believe getting more players such as myself, who can play as well as explain what we're playing etc...would help.

Sounds like you have that idea, so I'm happy. Also, I just launched the question, how it gets answered is a story yet to be told.

Alright, I started the virtual jam with a pretty approachable tune, Benny Golson's "Whisper Not."
Lets hear ya all. Nothing to be afraid of, ill be the bouncer, and I'll be a real asshole to anybody who's a jerk.
