Jon Benjamin - Jazz Daredevil - The Soundtrack Collection

Jon Benjamin - Jazz Daredevil - The Soundtrack Collection (Release Date: July 24, 2020)


Directed by Anna Gaskell

WHY ANOTHER ALBUM? The question must be screaming in your mind. In 2015, I started my jazz journey. Even I thought it would end, but the spirits of sound, they keep pulling at me. At times, I’ve danced with the demons of malaise and grappled with the warlocks of uncertainty. This collection represents a rebirth/afterbirth. A reforming of what I have done and what has been done before me. A voyage into a more futuristic soundscape, like a drunk (very drunk), crazed cosmonaut’s first spacewalk. A burnt offering to the Gods of Providence—Gods that take from us mercilessly the corpuscular light of what we give, fractured through our prism of inability.

My work may be an affront, but is our collective affront. My sins are unwavering but my jazz is my confession; each note a cleansing; the sound of the squeezing of an overripe peach and the juice putrid. These songs, like spumes of spite, are sufferings, profane grumbles, and they weave their thread into your soul like falcon’s talons into the belly of a bunny. Every compression is an impression (not sure what this means) but I think I’m talking about compressing the keys on the keyboard. But in them all are ‘sharts of hope’. I crash expectations. I throw poo in the face of my oppressors. I scream like a baby bird to the legions. I, by my own hand, mock the clouds for forming, cry ecstatic till temples crumble. I, by my own hands, shake the world. I am, like William Morris once wrote, ‘the haystack in the floods.' I am, for all time, the Jazz Daredevil.”

OMG, the first time I heard his album I was hyperventilating with laughter. Almost as good as seeing Manos Hands of Fate...just hysterical

That is unmistakably Eugene Mirman’s ‘Russian Guy’ accent!

[smbatman]

Tbh Jon has some nice harmonies at the end there

This is basically what Moog One owners now feel like trying to get their Moog One to work.

Wait... did Jon just turn off the synth before playing it?? That's some powerful jazz.

This is like Dylan going electric. Controversial stuff!

[scooterpuravidasteward]

Wanted to add live Mirman. Yes the voice. Never forget the comb over episode. Always intelligent simply the best humor.

[pottedrodenttube]

Strauss's Also Sprach Zarathustra is probably the most jazziest of music.

[dianalives]

Running down the gutter with a piece of bread and butter

[Malkmusianful]

Ah yes, I love the Portsmouth Sinfonia

[ianholmen]
