As a counterpoint, I have noticed a renewed interest in jazz standards over the past few years, and I often find myself playing to audiences of 20-somethings who know the words and sing along to all the old Sinatra and Bennett performed classics. Oh, I certainly get the people who want me to "bring the rawk", but oddly enough, they're more my age (40 and up). The younger crowds, at least here in L.A., seem to want to hear stuff like "Witchcraft" and "The Way You Look Tonight". If I had a dollar for every time some "kid" in a fedora or a table full of young ladies yelled, "More Sinatra!"...

Sounds good to me. Here in Florida they don't ask for that.

That's really interesting. It's seemed to me for a long time that there is a lot more interest in jazz in Europe than here in the country where it originated. Seems a little ironic to me that some of my favorite swing and gospel arrangements were done and even published in Europe.

In my all too infrequent trips to the UK and Europe (England, Scotland, Wales, Netherlands, Italy, and Hungary) I've noticed more interest in Jazz than here in the USA.
I also notice that the audiences in Europe tend to listen to the music more intently than the audiences in the US. It seems that most of people in Europe go for the music and most of the people in the US go for the event.
Our weekly, weather permitting, outdoor gig is today, and it's supposed to be 72F with no chance of rain!!!!!!!!!

Yep. It comes down to this. If you want to have live music in your community, you have to support live music in your community.
And that doesn't mean only once or twice a year, it means weekly.

Being a musician is not what I do, it's what I AM.
I always like to say "I didn't pick music it picked me"

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
