Vibing

(Well, vibing applies for every aspects of life as well.)
  • “Vibing” is a mean-spirited attitude toward other musicians and the way they play the music
  • “Vibing” is when the house guitarist at the jam won’t talk to the singer sitting in
  • “Vibing” is the snide remark made by another musicians during the alto players solo
  • “Vibing” is when the famous guitar player tells the poor bass player sitting in to go learn the @#$% changes
  • “Vibing” is when the drummer starts making cross-eyed facial expressions to the bass player during the horn player’s jive solo
  • “Vibing” is the knowing glances the in-crowd of musicians gives to each other around the new-comer

~ Camden Hughes (Why Vibing Is Bad for Jazz)
