Why so many empty seats?

@vpsaxman It was an interview not a show ... This is George and Leo playing at the end of the interview.

"They just killed the song...".. Now, he/she obviously means

this as an insult, but if they knew anything about the jazz

vernacular, they would understand that something "Killing" in jazz, is

good(as this is) so, uh, yeah, guess I agree? They KILL THIS SONG.

Hey halt'n-cock... Listen to the "words" of this... Shut the Fu#c@ up

you dumb ass MOFO!!!

Long live leo and Garzone, thank god for them.

[WOWWHATGREATMUSIC]

This brings me to the second part of Halt-don't-know-sh!t's

comment which attempts to call this duet "un-lyrical?!". Pointing out

a lack of lyricism in this VERY lyrical performance is about as

pointless as me pointing out the lack of eloquence, substance, or

purpose of Halt'n-ballz's comment, but just to set the record

straight, this is some lyrical shit... The next mistake Halt makes is

to say

[WOWWHATGREATMUSIC]

Wow, this is amazing!, George Garzone is a god on saxophone. or "It's

so great that there are people that play music with this much passion,

emotion, communication, skill,(I could go on and on), and... hold on,

I got 1 more.. oh yeah "lyricism", because this is some lyrical

playing!,

[WOWWHATGREATMUSIC]

"they are very good at harmony..." Ok, they are

good at harmony... These are two of the greatest musicians alive. If

the only compliment you can come up with is that, maybe you shouldn't

watch videos of people playing jazz at all... but at least don't

comment on the videos that you don't understand, and also, in life,

it's weak to try to conceal an insult within a compliment..For

example, some better 'complimentry comments' would be:
