Well, if you understand the roots of jazz, it actually makes a ton of sense.

Yeah, but it's one of those things where you're not really sure if you're listening because you're supposed to listen or you're listening because you enjoy it.

That's right.

That's where it gets complicated.

I think you would enjoy West Coast jazz.

That's Jerry Mulligan and even Charlie Parker used to come out here and do sessions.

I think that's what you would most resonate.

Chet Baker is probably the thing you would most understand.

Well, Chet Baker is the thing that the goths like.

I like Chet Baker.

The goths like Chet Baker for some reason, probably because he was on Smack.

Hello.

Beautiful cat, but obviously troubled.

I'm so dumb right now.

Okay, so imagine you're Charlie Parker.
