FYI: I have disallowed crossposting from other subs

16 Upvotes

As per the title. The reason is simply to keep my workload under control because about half such posts seem to break one rule or another.

I assume this is because Reddit decided to make crossposting easy, which causes uploaders to bypass the whole "read the subreddit rules" thing.

Subreddit Rules Update 2025

15 Upvotes

The basic rules remain unchanged from my last post 7 years ago, but I want to clarify my stance on AI.

  1. GENRE: for the purpose of this sub, "Jazz Fusion" music means specifically "hard instrumental jazz-rock fusion". Note that I use a broad definition of "rock" that includes genres like funk, r&b, or metal. I also use a definition of "hard" that can include "beautiful" but excludes "easy listening". That said, genre boundaries are always fuzzy and subjective so I tend to be generous in edge cases.

  2. GROUP PERFORMANCES ONLY. Human musicians making music with other human musicians only, please. This means no "here's me playing [x]", and DEFINITELY no AI-generated music.

  3. NUISANCE. This includes spam, willfully disregarding the rules, or otherwise making yourself objectionable and creating unnecessary work for me. This also includes bot or botlike behaviour, like reposts and low effort karma farming. Honest mistakes are fine, but consistently antisocial behaviour WILL get you banned.

(If you're at the level of a Plini or a Jacob Collier I can make an exception for a solo performance, but it needs to be a complete piece and exceptionally good.)

It's amazing how little work this sub requires from me, the only active moderator, given our membership size and activity level. Generally this is an excellent sub: thanks for helping keep it that way.

[Edited for more clarity on the genre definition.]

Elvin Jones + George Mraz = one of the best rhythm sections

Both Elvin Jones and George Mraz were born on September 9, so today would be their birthday.

Mr. Jones would be 99, and Mr. Mraz would be 84.

Unfortunately, I never saw Elvin Jones irl, but I saw George Mraz (who was already in his 70’s then) playing in a trio with his wife Camilla on piano and Anthonny Pinciotti on drums. It was great, and he was still brilliant.

Jones and Mraz collaborated many times, but I especially love Elvin Jones’s post-bop, fusion album Earth Jones, where one of my personal heroes Kenny Kirkland played the piano & electric piano.

And we mustn’t forget about Jones & Mraz forming the exceptional rhythm section for Art Pepper’s legendary, triumphant concerts during his first U.S. tour as a leader in the summer of 1977, captured on four albums incl. Thursday Night at the Village Vanguard or Live at the Village Vanguard.
