He isn't just a good musician. He is a great entertainer. I think a lot of musicians forget about the showmanship aspect of performance

[RedmarKerkhof]

I've seen Tenacious D live during their acoustic tour. Just two guys and two acoustic guitars, nothing else.... and they blew the roof off! Not many artists can do that.

Jack’s brilliant because he’s less a musician than he is a celebration of music. He’s not setting out to be some virtuosic artist, he’s just serving us all the stuff that makes music fun on a platter.

I worked on the Tenacious D movie score and had the good fortune to see Jack conduct the orchestra for a few minutes - f’n hilarious how he cracked up the orchestra by acting like an prima dona conductor. Thank you Jack!

He has mastered the Sax-a-Boom, he is a musician of the highest caliber, LOL. Seriously, JB has serious musical chops!

[danielstuart]

Thanks for featuring Jack. I think he is very underappreciated as a musician. School of Rock is one of my favorite movies and I still watch it from time to time.

I so want for this to happen. Jack and Aimee would be an unstoppable musical force in the galaxy. Or words to that effect.

Love both Jack Black and Bobby McFerrin for the music they've brought to my life <3

Thanks Aimee, you are not only an amazing jazz musician and music interpreter, you're a great documentary maker.

After that little movie "School of Rock" came along (which was really a blast to me), I felt like Jack Black become more than an actor but a kind of ambassador or a diffuser for the Rock Age.

[raystaar]

I'm a massive JB fan and glad to know you are as well. Thanks for the plaudit. Always enjoy hearing good things about my favorite folks.

So lovely to see musicians from different backgrounds supporting each other.

[AMTunLimited]

I love Jack Black for how unabashedly joyful he is. I've always thought that behind the feeling that he's always taken being a musician seriously.

For my two cents, while I do think he is a competent musician (and incredibly underrated as a songwriter), he is an absolutely phenomenal *performer*

Nice Aimee. Regards from South Africa.
Thanks for enlightening us.

[TomMarvan]

Another lovely, informative, careful and caring video, Aimee, thank you! It’s like food for the mind, drink for the soul.

[vguido]

Hey there Aimee, this was a fun great share, on Jack Black. I am also a fan of his work, stay blessed and fantastic kind regards Worrell Robinson.

While I'm certain that Mr. Black is a very technically accomplished musician in many ways, the best thing about him is that he embodies (quite literally!) the sheer spontaneous joy of music and makes it an extension of life instead of a merely cerebral exercise. It doesn't matter how "simple, " "complex, " or "technical" any of it is. Life is all of those things, and it's all beautiful, and of course funny. Which is the way it ought to be.
