Their performance is even more like jazz when you delve into it. While they didn’t write a screenplay and improvised their performances, they did painstakingly work out their characters back stories so that they had a strong foundation to improvise on, just like any great jazz player works on his/her craft.

Putting the thing on the end of his trumpet was comparable to adding the amp capo I think. Same thing, they try to deny it but we know they're jazz.

"He'll improvise, but its all intentional"

At jazz gigs people clap on 1 and 3 and no-one notices...

Genious!

I play Jazz Saxophone and regularly get cheques from the PRS. The performing Rong Society.

Miles always told Robin Ford to crank it up, times he started playing softly. So this whole joke is based on pop stereotypes of jazz.

"This song contains the line, 'Just wanna make some eardrums bleed. We've never actually done that, but it's still the goal...' " There goes the summary of 25 years in the music business. Lol Improvising, by nature isn't "intentional," lol. It's a skill set by itself EVERY musician should get good at by playing anything at any time. Covering a song exactly is hard for a set of reasons. This is a different skill set. Usually at the expense of being unable to either read nor write musical notation. Improvised jazz, well, you better know some stuff. At least, how to follow the bass player and have a good ear to anticipate the next chord. It's an opening of the mind, which is where the drugs came in.

It has rhythm. It's just BACKWARDS. Also known as "syncopation." They play "on the ands" a lot. Or "on the up beats." They also do that in dance music, sometimes in funk. If they do it on the snare, it's either punk or country.
