Sorry @musicalme, I got you mixed up with @rncbc who wrote "I don't care". My bad.
Anyway, I downloaded and installed the package "jacktrip-macos-installer-x64-1.2.1.pkg". When I typed "jacktrip -s" into a shell, I now have a private jack server on my MacBook that only I can connect to and I the qJackCtl connection window shows additional connections (screenshot attached). That doesn't quite solve my goal, but it's still helpful to my understanding, so thank you for your comments.
Meanwhile, it doesn't quite solve my problem since my bandmates and I are using Jamulus as the client, and I built a Jamulus server on AWS. I thought that Jamulus and Jack are compatible, so that I could use qJackCtl with Jamulus, but it seems they run separate stacks. So to do what I want, I would have to set up a Jack server, perhaps on the same AWS instance, then get my bandmates to switch. I already got them to switch once, from JamKazam to Jamulus. Not sure I can put them through that again, especially when jacktrip doesn't have a GUI interface for them. Doing anything with musicians is like herding cats. ;).
Thanks, nevertheless for your help. If you still think I'm misunderstanding something I'd welcome your input, but for now I'm ready to put qJackCtl aside and just get a small mixer board that I can plug a phone into if we want to play with a drum loop or listen to a recording or backing track.
Mind if I ask, where are you located? What do you play? I'm in Ann Arbor, Mich, USA. I play guitar and bass (intermediate level).
