A Mike Love Supreme

And I'd like to see some people kick out the jams, and I challenge Miles Davis to get up on stage and jam.

I wanna see Thelonious Monk, see if he can still tickle ivories, lemmee see.

I know John Coltrane won't be here tonight, he's gonna have to stay in England. But I'd like to see us in the Coliseum and he at Wembley Stadium because he's always been chickenshit to get on stage with the Beach Boys.

Upgrades from Fm7?

So I've been learning my jazz on a basic Fm7 that i picked up from Sweetwater years ago. I enjoy playing it, but feels like im at the point where I should upgrade to something more professional.

A friend of mine has a Gm9 that he got from his uncle, and it sounds a bit warmer and fuller. Is this a good step up?

I've also seen a vintage 1977 Ab augmented for sale on ebay. Looks in reasonable condition, but obviously something that has been played for almost 50 years is going to be a bit tired. I've also heard that vintage chords can be difficult to maintain and find parts for.

Ultimately id like to get something like a custom Db13(b9#11)/E, but its a bit out of my price range at the moment.

Any advice appreciated!

Check this album out if you haven't, truly an overlooked gem of 21st century

Seriously tho why do they do this? It's mildly confusing whenever I search for an album that yt music have like multiple versions of basically the same tracks

Diners, Dine-ins and Dives Theme

Hey Cats, I’m trying to solo over this theme but I’m wondering if major pentatonic or minor pentatonic is better. Thanks in advance.
