oh larry

Here in Europe we have a different feeling for what is humor and what is tasteless.

And here in Austria we do not make jokes with things regarding Braunau where A.H. was born. And what this Braunau native did ´til 1945 was absolutely not funny.

[funkEntelechyPlacebo]

It's kind of Richard Clayderman meets Keith Jarret meets Monk. Genius

[eatingperson]

The audience is annoying, they're ruining the joke.

[willshakeyou]

man... this is fucking funny and you have to be truly insecure or plane out stupid to be offended by this. And I'm glad that such an awesome musiscian as larry goldings is able to do such an entertaining (as most of all FUN) thing and share it with us all...

[alfabazen]

Wonderful! :-D

[b356014]

Sorry, but for me as an Austrian this fauxpas of Larry Goldings is just terrible, absolutely unnecessary and tasteless. T.C. Pfeiler

[msorensen54]

It's aimed at people with a sense of humor. The first step requires that you have sense, humor comes later. Obviously you are not qualified to be part of the target audience.

I know it´s so hard to keep a Jazz-organ trio on the road today. Maybe that´s the reason why LG switched to the poor humor biz. Prof. h.c. T.C. Pfeiler

@b356014 you're an idiot

[b356014]

You are too you to know what is the background of Braunau

@b356014

What makes this funny is not the Braunau reference. I am also Austrian, and my family comes from Rottenmann, albeit 4 generations ago. I would bet that most people who watch this don't even remember or pay much attention to the fact that he's pretending to be Austrian. What's funny about this whole character is that Larry pretends to be a foreigner, obviously not familiar with the cultural significance and idiosyncrasies of Monk, and thus "corrects" them.

[AHirsch]

@b356014

No one is laughing because he's Austrian. Actually, the only joke he makes about Braunau is when he says "don't hold that against me," but nobody is running off and telling their friends about how funny that joke was. It's about the musical humor. Larry could have done this with any accent, more or less, but he decided to approximate an all-purpose german/austrian accent.

[AHirsch]

@b356014

I didn't mean to call you an idiot, it was uncalled for and I apologize, but I implore you to take this for it's musical humor, not the token reference to Braunau.

[futboler454]

It wouldn't be funny if it weren't true.

[Djangoblackbird]

Oh come ON! It's comic relief, it's a chance to laugh at others and ourselves. Are we so uptight that we're going to call this the "death of a jazz scene" if somebody decides to try a little humor?

[spikewilner]

THANK YOU! THIS IS COMEDY! Jeeez...

[DixonCentr0]

is larry going to drag this thing out any longer? Its really not that good of an act

[DixonCentr0]

I agree. I'm not surprised, the jazz scene in the Village has gotten really lame in the past couple years.

[KingKarolus222]

this music sucks. this guy is not even that funny.

[spikewilner]

Carlos: This is a joke! It's meant to be funny. Again, like art, humor is subjective: funny to some not so to others. What's really sad is that it seems like you've got nothing better to do than sit around commenting on YouTube videos. I've got an idea - put up a video of some of your music. Let's hear it!

[KingKarolus222]

hey carlos, i've got an idea for you, stay out of this conversation if you have nothing to say. now i can see why "jazz" is a failing art form... no one has anything original to offer

[spikewilner]

Who you calling Carlos, carlos?

I'm saying - let's hear your music! Put it up there and show us what you're talking about.

[KingKarolus222]

oh, i'm carlos? mmmm....Karolus Magnus, the father of Europe, also known as Charlemagne...uh, you get the point? you're quite the stupid one "Spike". (isn't that a dog's name?).... and about the video, well, I don't need to prove anything here. i wrote a comment, and you guys kept the conversation going, so i continued posting.

[spikewilner]

True - I am the stupid one. And, yes, Spike happens to be a dog's name. Can't somebody have the same name as a dog?

[KingKarolus222]

As long as dogs can have human names I don't see anything wrong with it.

[spikewilner]

That's a good attitude. My dog's name happens to be Michael Jacob.

My brother's name is Fido.

So you see...

[thinkingevil]

Bless him for his chromatic cleansing!

[kdfan]

he reminds me of a sasha baron cohen character. larry's funny as hell! once when i saw his trio, he introduced himself as jerry seinfeld.

[zynnetrix]

Hrhr, thats great. Maybe he can get Kenny G into the band ;-)

[speciman70]

Monk for the nazis

[saxnviolinz]

it is rare that there is an improvement on an original version of a classic tune... this is one such occasion... thank you hans..

[hpeterkawaja]

this is a joke right...because larry is obviously doing comedy, as can be known from the laughing in the background...

[bcolborn]

Why did you take down part 3?

[spikewilner]

its back up
