onstage FAIL

[coyote1]

smallslive.com, right now. A professional gigging jazz band at a NYC venue....all of them, piano sax trumpet drums and upright bass, using music stands with sheet music.

P.S. I just remembered that national treasure Lucinda Williams used stand + charts at a Boston gig I attended a few years back. We're done here AFAIC.

I play mostly jam sessions. No one ever gives me a sheet. I can read. Why does no one give me a sheet? I'd love to look at a sheet/iPad instead of being told "it's C A F G. The bridge is A D E. The outro is just C" for a song I've never heard before....

 

[HeavyJazz]

Sheesh, I thought this was a heavy-set bassist with sandles/flip-flops post...
