A band that practices together for a year sounds better than four great players who met yesterday.

Skill and chemistry are two different things, and only one of them can be rushed. Four strong players still have to learn where the others breathe, who speeds up in the chorus, when to leave space. That comes from hours in the same room making the same mistakes. A decent group that stayed together often beats a great one that just met.

Look at what you are already a year into, a team, a group project, a friendship. Rather than hunting for better people, put in another few weeks with these ones. What you are waiting for is mostly just time in the room.
