soniaMegachoirasorus Virtual Edition - With A Little Help From My Friends via radiantfracture. A distance musical collaboration. Heartwarming! (Even if the video of the drummer isn't quite synced up, at least when I view it.)
Less joyfully, The coronavirus is devastatinga uniquely American art form jazz musicians (there, fixed that for you) by Chris Richards.
Again with a bad headline that does not have its priorities straight, but this is a loving tribute and an important truth that needs bearing witness.
And, JamKazam, which claims to allow real-time musical collaboration over the internet, sent out an email saying they aten't dead, and here's a page of help videos. As they suggest, I ordered a thunderbolt-to-ethernet converter instead of the USB-to-ethernet one I was using before, but I haven't tried to see if that's good enough for their app yet.
This forum discussion post says the physics just doesn't work out, but I want to see how far I can get with JamKazam. Anything I do to reduce latency will help me with all the other Zoom stuff I do, including dancing.

[..] a pandemic that continues to decimate the jazz world with horrific swiftness. It’s been crushing to watch so many meaningful lives end in such a meaningless way. Among the dead: the venturesome bassist Henry Grimes, the graceful saxophonist Lee Konitz, the impeccable trumpeter Wallace Roney, the erudite pianist Ellis Marsalis Jr. — and there will be more. A uniquely American art form is being killed by a uniquely American incompetence.
