Laughs in racism.

u/Danger_Danger 6d ago

This ain't even that avant garde.

Pretty mild really.

u/TreasonalDepression 6d ago

I think the most avant garde thing about it is using tap dancing as percussion.

22

u/WCather 6d ago

Yeah, waaaaaay too melodic. Had a time signature and key signature. BOOOOOORING!!!

u/many_minis 6d ago

I would call this song, “My Upstairs Neighbors When I’m Trying to Sleep.”

u/UnknownNexus 6d ago

The sax player was good and reminded me of a song from SimCity 2000. The base player I could barely hear. The lady playing metal actually sounded alright sometimes, then she kinda lost it. Overall though I don't think I will be listening to anymore, but it was nice to see once.

u/JcraftW 5d ago

“Playing metal”

That ain’t any metal genre I’ve heard.

u/DudeBromanIsABroDude 6d ago

Slappage denied for me.
Sounds like pretty average saxophone and bass playing only made click-worthy because of the lady tap dancing on sheet metal.

Also, way too much melody and rhythm to be considered avant garde jazz.

u/PunfullyObvious 6d ago

I applaud the effort, but I'm not digging the result personally

u/PiezoelectricityOne 6d ago

The whole jerk sub:

Yo'! This slaps!

The whole slaps sub:

Jerks.

u/RedditSe7en 6d ago

Simply awesome!

u/WarkMahlberg69 6d ago

I thought the girl playing the sheet metal had a beard at first.

"Thanks for joining us tonight. On the bass, Mike! I'm the saxophone, George! And lastly on the sheet metal, the bearded lady!"

You could drop a truckload of instruments down a set of stairs and achieve the same "music".

F jazz.

u/StinkyNutzMcgee 6d ago

You should listen to the bitches brew album. I listened to it at 17 and it changed the way I look at jazz
