Zoom and Meet are not the tools you need for playing together in real-time. For musicians there are dedicated platforms such as JackTrip, Sonobus, Jamkazam, Jamulus, FarPlay and some more. With fast internet you can play in real-time with people hundreds of miles away from your place.

Monday Morning Jam
Monday 22 December 2025 at 9.00 am Paris time we meet on JackTrip at the Jazz Standards Jam Club St Ghislain with some violins. Guitars and other instruments are welcome. If you want to join us contact me. Yesterday we had a lively session (not gypsy, rather mainstream) in the same virtual studio. Have a look, it might be for you as well : https://www.jacktrip.com/recordings/ZVbyBUzFpyOMwJvb2fb6m

Online Jams!
Hello everyone, I'd like to introduce you all to @Thomas Wollersen. Thomas runs online jam sessions using low latency software like Jacktrip, or Jamkazam. We are looking for people who interested in this type of online jam. If you have questions, and would like to partake, first take a look in the classroom at the section that says "Online Jams (Jam en ligne)", and read the requirements. If you have more questions, you can comment here!

@Robert Dietz , typically you need a fast (low latency) audio interface to connect your microphones, pick-up and headphones. A popular brand would be focusrite. You need a Windows, Mac or Linux computer for the JackTrip platform. Sonobus runs also on smartphones and tablets. Most importantly, you need to connect to the internet via ethernet cable, as WIFI has too much latency and jitter. If your device does not have an ethernet port, you need and adapter.

@Daz Azzell , that depends where you are. In Europe there is a schedule but if your location is too far away one needs to gather with other people.

Jam while staying at home ?
Gypsy jazz is about ensemble playing. What if you could have other musicians play with you without leaving home ? Maybe you like the idea but the folks you know don't. On this platform, Skool, there are people from many countries and meeting them in person is not very practical. Some of them may have fast internet and the gear necessary for playing together online. Not the Zoom or Meet kind of thing, I am talking about a system made for musicians with latencies so short that they do not interfere with the music. These systems are not very widely known yet and you may never have heard of JackTrip, Jamkazam, FarPlay, Jamulus or Sonobus. I organize several jam sessions every week on some of these platforms. We have sessions with participants from all over Europe and part of the US and people love it. Have a look at the unedited recording of our last public live streaming session https://www.jacktrip.com/recordings/7xrUBcwVFGoU2v5d4asiI Most sessions are private and there is no obligation to have public ones. It is also possible to organise specific gypsy jazz jam sessions if there are some guitar players from this community who want to give it a try. Just let me know.

Hi Daz, I use mostly JackTrip but also Sonobus. Latency depends on many factors. The most important is that you hear yourself without perceivable latency. For the others it is possible to tolerate considerable latencies. Even with 100 ms it is still possible to play a bebop head in unison. In Europe, however, with most participants latency is much less than that and does not interfere with the music.

multi-instrumentalist with a strange relationship to the violin. I am retired and music is one of my main activities.
