Beginning shot with smooth guy wearing sunglasses - priceless

[DeLuciosX]

Imagine the bassplayer shouting at him "Not my tempo. Play slower!!"

To me, this scene represents a form of reversion back to the most principle understanding of music for both characters. Here, both characters, Fletcher and Andrew, view music as art, as expression, as opposed to an objective format of glory and greatness. It shows how far they've both strayed away from what music actually is to many people, which is ironic considering the ending of the film.

Dude on the bongos deserves more recognition for this beauty

[timmcgrath]

I love how resentful neimann looks at the enjoyment fletcher's getting from his music

[TheCaulfield]

I just wanna sit in this club and listen to this all

[armandomendez]

perhaps, someday i will be so smooth as the guy on glasses at the beggining of the shot

I think I can understand what Andrew is feeling towards the end of Fletcher's playing. As much as Andrew wanted to put jazz behind him after his interactions and experiences with Fletcher, his love for jazz was too great for him to ignore it completely. He looks past his "disdain" for Fletcher and just appreciates the music itself. The actor did such a great job in expressing the longing for getting back his passion. I really love this scene so much because of how I see myself in Andrew.

The irony of Fletcher being such a hardass when teaching/conducting only to play the most basic coffee shop shit I've ever heard.

There’s a beautiful duality with Fletcher in this scene. The sense of defeat because of his fall from grace at Shaffer and the quiet dignity of his overall love for music sitting in with a simple jazz quartet. A lot is happening in just 90 seconds here.

Cup of whiskey with a cigarette and peacefully listening to this at the venue is all I ask for.

[LordSummerIsle]

My only wish in life, is to be as smooth as the guy in sunglasses at the start

[nick_mustaka]

can’t really describe it, but J.K Simmons acts Fletcher’s character absolutely perfectly, so authentic and so consistent as a personality throughout the film it’s amazing

[kanisto]

Demands hard bop from his students, plays the lamest bossa nova tune on Earth.

[joshualessore]

*flips the piano*

WHAT PART OF NOT MY FUCKING TEMPO DO YOU NOT

[fooooked]

love how fletcher is fully playing starbucks jazz before going on a rant at how starbucks jazz is taking over the world for the worst

[calx]

Whenever I feel discouraged or lost in life, this is the scene I need for inspiration.

[gibbonsgriffithsinc]

I really like the shot where the camera focuses on Fletchers hands playing the keys on the piano

[Jack-ohom]

I love this scene, and this song, so much. Damn.

[caporegime]

Best ending to a jazz song I’ve heard in a while
