@raimarulightning 3 года назад

Loved his insight on the "Jazz is dying" line. John Legend basically makes that same point in the movie: that jazz is as much about changing as it is about the music, and if Sebastian wants to really keep jazz alive, he can't try to keep it in the past.

@Dan-jz3ui 3 года назад

@@6thdim I'm talking about people who say "jazz is dead" because it doesn't sound like it did in the 50s-60s anymore, and yet claim to be fans of Mile Davis, who was a promoter of always reinventing yourself as a musician, therefore always made his music evolve over the years. Basically, they're saying they love Miles, but are against the very principle that kept him relevant for decades.

@TheBlueGoldenHawk 3 года назад

16:49 Miles is playing the drums most of the time, but usually if they did shots without his face it was a pro jazz drummer filling in (ba-dum-tss) for the harder parts. Also, it seems like he didn't watch Whiplash since he talked a while about the drummer just suddenly starting without the director counting. The whole point of that part is him getting back at Simmons' character (the band director) for tricking him into playing a song on stage that Miles didn't know. Especially by suddenly starting the uptempo Caravan in the middle of Simmons talking to the audience saying the band was about to play a slow downtempo song next.
