No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Jazz heads look at it as a fluid, more organic kind of music, in general. When you talk to serious jazz players, they talk about it the way some writers do in fiction about magic and forces of nature.
There's even a movie, "Soul" that gives a great example of the way the jazz players I've known think and talk about the music.
And that's the key. Jazz is about the music, the performance, not the players (though there's fandoms). And you can't capture that, then plaster visuals over it. Most jazz fans I've known wouldn't watch videos, per se. They might play a video, so that they could hear it, but if it isn't essentially a recording of an actual performance, they wouldn't give two shits about what they see. Hell, they might not give any shits at all.
There's exceptions, of course. And there's branches of jazz that are more visual friendly. There's some jazz that's meant for dancing, as an example. You could likely do videos of that and the fans would enjoy it.
But there's also the fact that videos that aren't just one camera recording someone playing are expensive to make. Jazz isn't as popular as it once was, which means that you aren't going to get much return on that investment. You're better off just recording a performance and leaving it at that, if you want a visual of your music.
And, as someone that isn't into jazz, I also don't think there's any point to videos for jazz. Go look at some Kenny G videos. That's about as mainstream as jazz has been in a long time, and his videos really only worked a little in getting him fans. It gave him a tiny bit of crossover, but he was also a pretty guy marketing himself as much as his music.
