Good information showing how important the II, V, I progression is in jazz.
Thanx for sharing.

Yes, likewise.
2-5-1 is pretty much everywhere in jazz, at least where it's roots are in North America. It's interesting (to me, anyway), that quite a bit of Cape (Africa) jazz is 1-4-5, but that set-up is very familiar outside of jazz.
FWIW, I quite like the simpler songs, because it's easier to relax and to improvise. We often start our warm-ups with something like a straight 12-bar blues, precisely for that reason.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful. Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40. AVL:MXE Linux; Windows 11; Win8.1: Scarletts BIAB2022 UltraPAK, Reaper, a bunch of stuff.

I like this guy. Jens teaches the focus should be on learning and playing songs, not on practicing a million different scales and arpeggios.
Between him and finding out about shell voicings, I discovered that Jazz isn't so far out of my reach after all.

Jens is a good teacher. His roadmap course may be something you want to check out.
There are a bunch of great (and many more not so great) sources of jazz education on the internet. Picking a good one and trying to ignore the bad is a solid approach.
While no teacher is perfect You can't really go wrong with Jens.
btw, If you support him on Patreon, He sends you little snippets every week that are easily incorporated into you playing. Well worth $50 per year.

Leaning songs is really the key to learning jazz. You then sprinkle in all that theory scales and arpeggios etc. Knowing the songs changes and the melodies. Very important. You start your improvisations by just playing around with the melody and then connecting those ideas using some of the tools of the trade. Jens is a good teacher.
Most of the YouTube guys are pretty good teachers. I think it is just find one you like and stick with it. Even better, find a local person. Can't beat that instant feedback.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
