If you check this guy's YT channel, he's mashed mostly European cinema with jazz from the post-bop, pre-progressive era, some French music-A lot of these films interest me for the simple pleasure of seeing European cars, furniture, clothing, etc., from the 60s-Saturation from American cinema notwithstanding, WAY more style and class in Europe.

No bass guitar? Wow, these couch skits are getting longer and longer. It is somewhat better than the whole episode! Oh, and I like classical music more than jazz.

SNLs' well-known for that the last 15 years or so...This wasn't too bad for the simple fact that she's using complete sentences and singing to spoof herself.

+1 art level-up for Gaga

May she continue to evolve and maybe one day say to herself, 'Fuck fame and glory'...then re-invent herself through traditional Jazz be-bop piano.

Used to live next door to a piano teacher who'd play Chopin everyday, continually honing his skills with those etudes-Chopin's most famous and studied output to-date, his "studies" of the craft.

When tired of hearing long-haired noodling it was time to sneak up to his kitchen window with the alto sax and blast dissonant acid-jazz riffs till he answered the door and loaded the bong-

Can't wait for the movie.

"Cheerin': Jazz Hands in the streets!"
A sheltered and straightlaced collegiate cheerleader discovers the underground street Cheerin' scene. She falls in love with mildly ethnic bad boy Alonzo, who shows her what it's like to 'get real with it'. But is love enough to overcome the disapproval of her friends and the challenge of the street? Can the rigid and intolerant collegiate cheerleading establishment handle her new found urban flare?

You're spot on with my influences. I don't know why but music from that era speaks to me the loudest. There's trumpet on three of the tracks so there's a BIT of brass. The reason that there are no woodwinds on this album is pretty much due to money. More musicians means more moola! I also wanted the piano and guitar to be providing the melody as much as possible. Unfortunately, there aren't any EWI players around my parts. Edmonton's not exactly the Mecca of jazz

Well about the military thing, I'm actually in the Canadian Army and my job title is "Musician." Everything I do with the Artillery is music related. Although, every year we need to go the rifle range to make sure we still know how to use a rifle and our fitness is tested once a year as well.

Also, glad you enjoyed it! Let me know when you crash that event

Hipsters can't hi-jack that word (is that Bono in your avatar?) ulysses, they're only allowed to co-opt it...OH, and most of em look silly doin' the 2000's version, all the while reeking of ineffectual pretension touting sub-standard grooming and last-century literature! Oh, and if you're gonna call yourself a real hipster you'd better dig bebop and trad jazz, otherwise......POSER!!

..and please put-out the foul ciggy from Belarus, the shits' nasty and your teeth are mustard....Oh, and tell Betty there to shave her legs and you, TAKE A BATH!!.

I would hope that it's Sunny Ozell 35, his current fiance and soon-to-be 3rd go...She's a decent jazz crooner and seems to be infatuated with the captain enough.....
"Engaged."

Exactly right. I like to play multiplayer FPS games, and in the one I am currently playing (Blacklight: Retribution, for those who are curious), it is possible to make your enemies heads' explode with all the charm of Gallagher smashing a watermelon.

It is, simply put, abso-fucking-lutely gorgeous.

But it's never more than a bonus. I do enjoy it for the sheer brutality of it (and that sound - like a popping balloon), but it's never the focus of the game for me. In fact, most of the time, despite the fact that the game is based on killing, I am mostly concerned with the basic mechanics of the game, and the constant competition I am in with myself.

Another series that constantly crops in these engineered controversies (and which was mentioned in this video), is GTA. People cannot seem to get this idea that teenagers are single-mindedly finding more and more ways to murder random prostitutes out of their heads, when the truth is that that's just one of MANY things you can do in GTA's sprawling cityscapes. I, for example, would sometimes enjoy simply driving fast cars around at night while listening to jazz. Same game, no prostitutes, or the wanton murder thereof, involved.

But then, I suppose "driving fast cars at night while listening to jazz on the radio" nets "news" outlets fewer views than "EVIL VIDEO GAME IS TEACHING THE YOUTH OF AMERICA TO MURDER PROSTITUTES."

Congratulations on the upcoming release of your first album. How exciting for you! I just jammed out to "word bird" and "Beautiful thought". Very cool! When i read it was jazz fusion i didnt think id care for it, but to my surprise I quite enjoyed it Congrats again, I hope it's a grand success for you.
