H. Jon Benjamin, who does "not play piano at all" made a jazz piano album.The very, very funny comedianand voice of every cartoon character in existenceis releasing Well, I Should Have * on SubPop on Friday. Im not a huge fan of jazznever was, Benjamin says in Jazz Daredevil, the promo clip announcing the new album. And thats why I thought it would be funny to make a jazz album.
Heh, it's a great idea, but I wish it was released as a free EP rather than being sold as an actual album. Can't really see myself wanting to buy a joke album that just revolves around an actor who I like trying to play a piano.
Haha, pretty funny. I love jazz when I hear it and greatly respect all of the musicians. Probably some of the most complex music in teh world.
But when he was just banging on some of the notes, there were small moments that actually sounded like real jazz piano. I think the complexity of jazz sometimes loops back on itself and sounds like crazy, disconnected rhythms and melodies to an untrained ear. AKA ME
