Birmingham has always been great, and inspired so many famous songs Harborne To Run Close To The Edgbaston Sutton Coldfields of Gold No Jewellery Quarter Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Selly Oak Tree I'm sure there are many others you'll be able to remind me of

Especially 2m51s onwards

thanks all! so digging into the iReal Pro docs leads to these chords being called (as mentioned above) 'alternate chords', but doesn't give any indication of when they should be played, just how to notate them in iReal Pro charts then googling around variations on 'when to use alternate chords on a jazz chart' only leads to either altered chords or chord substitutions, neither of which is what we're looking for here. advice from this thread (again thanks) can be distilled down to "it depends", which is pretty much what I've discovered is the general guideline for most questions arising from trying to get hip to learning jazz!

I see what you're getting at - but I've also seen charts with say four chords per bar, which seems to cater for momentary chords.

in this case they are tritones, just coincidence I think. Found another example, Stella By Starlight with a Edim7 with a Gm7 and C7 on top. Is it one chord for soloists, another for compers?

When reading a chart for a standard at your local jazz night, what's the significance of the chord symbols in a smaller font above the bigger typed chords? Here's an example thanks to Sonny Rollins. So it's the Eb7 in bar 1, the D7 in bar 2, same again in bars 5 and 6. I'm sure it's google-able if you know the right term for it, which I don't. Thanks!

Peter Gabriel and Genesis - the band were still ok for a bit, and PG went on to massive and better things.

Bit like Captain Kirk? left ear, right ear, final front ear.

Yes, very

Have you ever considered writing lyrics for Jon Anderson?

Peter Hook is well known for this kind of thing

And if you're curious about the numbers: Key: (V)=Vegetarian, (GF)=Gluten Free, (GFO)=Gluten Free Option (VGN)=Vegan (1) Cereals Containing Gluten (2) Celery (3) Eggs (4) Fish and Shellfish (5) Milk (6) Mustard (7) Peanuts (8) Other Nuts (9) Sesame Seeds (10) Soya (11) Lupin and Flour (it's from the Lorne Bar in Oban, see https://thelornebaroban.co.uk/menu/ - main course was this "King scallops served with a bed of homemade Pancetta and Stornoway black pudding risotto". It's a wonder I got out alive)

And looking like this (teacake is down there somewhere, promise)

I'm a long-time fan of the red Tunnocks Caramel Wafer, and latterly the blue. Another delicacy I came across while in Scotland was the Tunnocks Sundae, described thus

I've only seen them north of the border, and not massively widespread even so. These I picked up from a tourist shop in a village called Luss on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond, while en route from Glasgow to Oban. (And also back again for a top-up)

If only there was some kind of online academy where there were resources for learning stuff like this, they should send out emails relentlessly about the subject

I went to my local jam night on Sunday and said to the house bassist "can I borrow your specs to read the chart? left mine at home" He said "sorry sir this is St Catherine's and we're about to sing All Things Bright And Beautiful"

I've been curious about switching my J to this kind of setup before, driven mostly by the incessant hum of the flourescent strips in my rehearsal room causing all manner of hum when I was on anything except equal volume on both pickups. So I did a bit of googling around, and at the time I remember coming across a link, probably talkbass (which of course I can't find now) that said essentially "why? that's the characteristic sound of a Jazz bass. don't mess with the recipe". Food for thought. I've just tried and failed to find that thread, but instead found this one - https://www.talkbass.com/threads/benefit-of-vol-vol-vs-a-blend-knob.1018316/ - which offers a bit more of a concrete argument, "I'm sure someone else can fill you in on the "why", but there is a difference in tone between a blend knob set to the middle (both pickups at 50%) and having both pickups at 100%" So is that what would happen with a blend pot? ie is the middle blend position each pickup at 50% or is it both on 100%? btw it might also be worth getting a shielding job done while you're at it.

Not for playing, but for reading charts, ireal pro etc it's probably best that I do
