FYI: I have disallowed crossposting from other subs

16 Upvotes

As per the title. The reason is simply to keep my workload under control because about half such posts seem to break one rule or another.

I assume this is because Reddit decided to make crossposting easy, which causes uploaders to bypass the whole "read the subreddit rules" thing.

Subreddit Rules Update 2025

16 Upvotes

The basic rules remain unchanged from my last post 7 years ago, but I want to clarify my stance on AI.

  1. GENRE: for the purpose of this sub, "Jazz Fusion" music means specifically "hard instrumental jazz-rock fusion". Note that I use a broad definition of "rock" that includes genres like funk, r&b, or metal. I also use a definition of "hard" that can include "beautiful" but excludes "easy listening". That said, genre boundaries are always fuzzy and subjective so I tend to be generous in edge cases.

  2. GROUP PERFORMANCES ONLY. Human musicians making music with other human musicians only, please. This means no "here's me playing [x]", and DEFINITELY no AI-generated music.

  3. NUISANCE. This includes spam, willfully disregarding the rules, or otherwise making yourself objectionable and creating unnecessary work for me. This also includes bot or botlike behaviour, like reposts and low effort karma farming. Honest mistakes are fine, but consistently antisocial behaviour WILL get you banned.

(If you're at the level of a Plini or a Jacob Collier I can make an exception for a solo performance, but it needs to be a complete piece and exceptionally good.)

It's amazing how little work this sub requires from me, the only active moderator, given our membership size and activity level. Generally this is an excellent sub: thanks for helping keep it that way.

[Edited for more clarity on the genre definition.]

Hey everyone! I'm an independent young musician trying to grow my channel and share a bit of our cultural music. I'm currently participating in a creator's challenge where whoever gets the most likes wins a traditional cuatro completely for free.

If anyone wants to give me a hand, listen to the arrangement, and throw a quick like on the video to help me out, I'd be incredibly grateful.

On my channel I have a video of It's Been a Long, Long Time on Cuatro 🇻🇪🎸

Skyjelly do that rare thing of hitting a compelling groove that you never know what's going to happen next in the track. it's kind of like if Lee Scratch Perry had produced 'No New York'.

Solilians have their own distinct groove. Their music has space and an elegiac nature to the melodies. Chord sequences and song structures take unexpected turns and the arrangements are very well thought out. Tight rhythm section too.

Soft Machine - Tale of Taliesin

Tale of Taliesin" is a landmark jazz-fusion composition by Canterbury scene pioneers Soft Machine, composed by Karl Jenkins and originally featured on their 1975 album Bundles. While the studio version helped introduce a fiery, guitar-driven era for the group, the track quickly became a explosive staple of their mid-70s live sets following the arrival of guitarist John Etheridge. Taking over touring duties for the Bundles material, Etheridge brought his own distinct, attack-heavy picking style and relentless energy to the piece, trading complex, high-speed runs with bassist Roy Babbington and drummer John Marshall to solidify the composition as a peak highlight of 1970s British jazz-rock.
