Great. This is how I imagined Channel 4 might have done a show dedicated to Jazz in its early days. A lot of psudeo-intellectual, pretentious babble about how, 'great', and, 'nice', the artists music was, when really the presenter looks back at the camera with a look in his eye saying, 'Isn't this just a total load of utter wank?' lol

A flat, A sharp and B flat all exist, it just depends on the context of the key. There are even situations when using more exotic scales where a C note is written as B sharp or a B as a C flat.

I'm very aware of what Rowley Birkin QC says, but that guy was talking in present tense, so it wouldn't have worked to put the original quote in...

That's "I'm afraid I WAS very, very drunk".

[Matt Smith]

this is really funny and I love jazz. the music ain't bad either.

Piles rhymes with Miles but the cheeks are clearly Dizzy Gillespie. I was rather confused the first time I watched the video since I did know whether it was supposed to be a specific reference or just a general piss-take on bebop.
