Quite possible. I'll invite people who want to play, not promise them a polished concert. Short turns, agreed volume. My enthusiasm does not count as a rehearsal.

Daniel Lim, I would be up for comparing attempts, even if joining in person is not practical. Would that help? One thing I should say upfront: I prefer borrowing equipment before buying it.

I can leave that question open until the practical details are clearer. I want to keep “Play imperfect jazz with friends” manageable for the people involved. Comparing a small attempt could work without pretending we are in the same place. We can agree what to share and leave private details out.

I'd like two friends to join me for a home music afternoon: one simple tune, vegan snacks, no audition. We can take turns leading and finish before it becomes homework. My left hand has requested realistic expectations.

For vegan lunches, I would rather agree a small beginning than promise a long programme. Would that approach suit this wish?
