jazz is rarely a solitary effort! throughout much of the history of jazz, a strong highlight is the art of the SOLO, taking a short tune and stretching it out into an expression of extemporaneous freedom and joy. this month, what i would love to see are entries with collaborators! this thread is for botbrs in need of solos to make themselves known and for those who have a yearning to contribute solos to raise their hand and let the world know they've got something to say.

for composists: give a lil description of your tune so soloists know what to expect and what they want to opt into! for instance, i'm writing a tune with a fairly fast swing tempo, lots of lil time sig changes, and fast chord changes that wander fluidly between keys. it's got a little bit of a hard bop flavor and a little fusion to it as well. i'm not opposed to adding a modal vamp to solo over as well.

for soloists: let us know what kind of solo you wanna provide! it can be sequenced MIDI, it can be your instrument of choice like sax or piano or your favorite hardware synth, it can be your voice or otamatone or your very own bleepler or the snes or DMG sitting in your room or banging on pots and pans recorded by cell phone mic! have fun!

i am hoping to see botbrs use this thread and to see a lot of entries with two or three or even more folks involved!

Oh FUCK yes, I'll solo on anybody's thingy! Guitar, piano, bleepler...

Just DM me on discord. I'm EXTREMELY friendly.

Oh FUCK no, I'll not solo on anybody's thingy! Airguitar, Hitting hard objects with a lot of force, high pitched atonal squealing...

Don't DM me on discord. I'm EXTREMELY hostile.

I can flute or beatbox or uhh jam on my puter keyboard and from next week I can jam on a piano and midi keyboard neither of which I know how to play
or I can just write a solo in a tracker or smth
I can make weird noises too (PLEASE LET ME MAKE WEIRD NOISES)
dm me if you want me 😏

Sacophone

I can sing, did you know that?

lmk! i’m available on the weekends hereafter. it’s just clicked up midi notes i got.

Can do keytar if u want some goofy 90s yamaha sounds

If my schedule is not too tight and I can manage to work on at least one entry (which format I still don't know), I can play the alto recorder... or sing ^^.

I can provide a piano/keyboard/synth solo to any who need one!

hello, i am open to soloing on the drums either over a vamp, over the form of your tune or trades, can also do comping if you want :>

i currently have an ekit setup so sharing audio files is easy with the caveat that of course it won’t sound quite like an acoustic kit, its also doable to send a midi file which then you can replace with a vst or sample of your preference

@roz i might need to contact you about that bleepler solo sometime soon..

If anyone'd be interested in having an additional jazz solo for just about anything, PLEASE please hit me up!!

.. or if you want to do anything voice-related for any reason at all

If anyone wants an accordion solo, I'm game!

i'm open to midi solos :)

heyo!!! if anyone would like a key solo in their tune feel free to hit me up! im on the discord server just in case

This is a great idea! i'd love to put my hand up if anyone wants a guest solo on their song. I can provide guitar, gameboy chippy sounds, anything midi, and even some other instruments like Banjo, Bass and Mandolin. Feel free to message me wherever.

I could track something I suppose

If anyone wants a guest chiptune/tracker solo on their entry, let me know! I just wrapped up my Jazz Chip entry and don't plan on making any more major entries this month, so I'm available!

Everybody wants to solo, nobody wants to write a comp track. Metaphor for something.

damn I know and the thread is even called "call for comp tracks thread!"

I can just about slap a bass though there's probably way better players than me, ping me on discord if interested in a collab, open to anything (if you've started one or you want me to)
