Vampyr was a very enjoyable game with some great elements to it.
It sounds like you just don't like it. Liking and understanding are 2 different things. Maybe you need to listen to various artists until you find someone who speaks to you. Stop trying to understand and try to find what you like.
Louis Armstrong on Good Morning Vietnam, all of the great jazz-inspired hip hop of the early 90s, and Jack Kerouac writing about jazz in *On the Road all conspired to point me towards jazz.
Invisible Man was for sure talking about Armstrong's "Black & Blue," which was probably the first anti-racist song in jazz.
I think New Orleans Style works for that
After Jan 6th, the republican party is a fascist organization. Period. Treat them with the same respect you'd treat a n@zi.
That is also the best I was able to find
Basie's drummer threw a cymbal at him during a jam session, and that did make him determined to get better.

Peter Brotzmann - The Catch of a Ghost
Louis Armstrong - Tight Like This (1928)
Satchmo was genuinely written by Louis Armstrong.
Miles is highly entertaining because of how well Troupe captured Miles' voice. It might not be the most factual source, but it might be the most entertaining book in jazz.
TIL that Charlie Haden played on "Ramshackle" on Beck's Odelay
Sonny Sharrock - Ask the Ages. He didn't play on it but he did produce it.
Busdriver released an album last year, but yes he has kept a low profile for years.
This is not new to Kendrick. Freestyle Fellowship were doing that more than 20 years before him.
Freestyle Fellowship's "Hot" includes improvisation live with Horace Tapscott. Also check Freestyle Fellowship's "Mary," "Innercity Boundaries," "Park Bench People."
Eyedea freestyled with his improv band Face Candy.
Busdriver freestyled with a live jazz band in the song "Right Before the Miracle."
Freestyle Fellowship - Hot, Innercity Boundaries, Mary, Park Bench People.
Myka 9 - Free Energy, Let's Fly.
Both are phrases
Your defense of him just made him overrated again. Fuck Kenny G
It's the lyrics to "Wade"
