Heard some of this on the news on the way to a gig last night.
The comments will explain the origin.

I found it interesting and thought other musicians might also find it so.

Well...Gershwin wrote "Jazz Opera" in the early 20th C...?

Thumbs up

I love it. It's a riot! Long story behind it though. I think Ed posted that here originally a couple months back and one of our posters in Japan explained what is going on. He knew some of the people in the clip.
What this has to do with Gershwin, I don't got no clue.
Thanks for the clip, man. Great stuff. (IMO).
