Hipster alert!!!! warning warning!

@electrickabuki How could I be a "hipster" when Americans don't do irony? You're confusing your stereotypes, Mr. Tally-ho pip-pip gov'.

[Zeecarver]

you need a 2nd person on this. It's really something else, but to really feel the dialogue and give and take you want that second personality instead of you moving between the two roles :(

[weepingprophet]

@Zeecarver In any case, you're wrong.

@weepingprophet

yeah, he is.

I thought that you doing it all by yourself is the best.

Are you a musician? Do you play jazz?

I figured that If I wanted to perform this I should learn the solos, just like when I study a solo for double bass. Then I just know all the rythmics and articulations, and it would be easy to do this, so I thought you play jazz as well.

But I also think there are other ways to do it, and maybe you don't play. Anyway, I laughed all the way through it, beautiful...

@Lottolearnstrings Thanks! I'm not a musician, no. And I made this video after almost ten years of listening to this track.

@weepingprophet そうかどうでもいいは。

[bonitadiablo]

Friggin' AWESOME! A perfect example of call and response haha! Great interpretation! Loved it.

Yeah!! Certainly accurated, Jazz IS a form of language and solos ARE speeches in a way, so a 'conversation' between sax and trumpet clearly has to be looked at as a conversation! (and a very heated one if i might say). Bravo!

A DEEP KNOWING OF WHAT MUSIC REALLY IS!!!!!!!!!
