      We're definitely keeping it alive. It's just that greatly talented musicians are overshadowed by video game streamers and "hot chicks" dancing on TikTok. 😑

      @@Dudeface167 You're right in that it's dead in the eyes of the general public - but not among musicians. Jazz was only really "alive" for a short time - from the 1920's to the mid-1960's - and yeah, it's definitely "dead" in the sense that it hasn't been popular since then. It's had its revivals, but they've always been within communities of musicians.
      Today the average person mostly thinks of jazz as background music to play at a dinner party. Also, the common person's definition of jazz is so skewed. Basically Norah Jones and whatever "jazz" comes up on a playlist.
      Yep...I'm one of "those guys." 🤣lmao

      It looks like a George Benson Ibanez GB10SE Hollow Body guitar. Hearing how good it sounds makes me want one now. Great playing, young lady!

      @@johne1599 You are right about that. I think they are kinda hard to find now!

      It looks like you can separately adjust the string length and she's got the bass three longer than the treble three.
      It's behind the bridge so not sure it matters but it must or why bother?
      Intriguing.

      I think it has to do with intonation of the frets being slightly different with those three thicker wound strings.@@jeffarcher400

    As my dad would say, "Fuckin' A!" Five seconds in, I knew this was going to be good. By the time the Improv rolled around, I was sold.
