Jazz

[Xanatos]

My only real exposure to jazz was the Hellsing anime OST, although the genre is branded as "acid jazz" (not sure if it counts). Here's some examples:










While I wouldn't consider myself properly acquainted with the culture, I do rather fancy jazz lingo. Even if none of the phrases make any literal sense, like "that cat that just swagged out of here was one cool customer, but he was up into some bad china if you know what I mean", one can still know exactly what they're on about (contextually, at least). One of the latest internet phrases "rustled my jimmies" has a jazzy ring to it, don't you think? It sounds like the sort of thing you'd hear some guy in a fedora say in some smokey basement with a pool table & a saxophone playing in the background.
