Surrealism vs Jazz Improvisation Mashup

surrealism of jazz you can't really pick two subjects that would more be similar surely is it just a coincidence that one of Britain's most beloved and influential comedy geniuses Spike Milligan and who inspired none other than the Monty Python troupe was also an accomplished jazz musician although the British jazz singer George Malley was a surrealism aficionado and what's about the inspirational tale of that British tranch as musician Lonnie Donegan you inadvertently invented a new musical style during his concert in salutes skiffle music's accessible DIY ethic seduced countless British news did one of them pluck the name of the fictional astronaut from the 1960s ice-cream tray card set unpromising it's a Major Tom in his first major hit single Space Odyssey the paradox with jokes the position putting things together that shouldn't nor will he go ataxic he Dec strictly links to surrealism isn't the more absurd the combinations the more it seems to provoke the mind into making comparisons and seeing similarities surrealism a jazz evolved around the same time in the early 20th century morphing from earlier incarnations but what's more intriguing is the strong parallel between jazz improvisation and surrealist automatism and automatic writing and the serendipitous nature of the British brand of surreal humor arguably spearheaded by Spike Milligan where the journey often seems to be more important than the actual destination Milligan utilized his jazz sensibility to great effect it he's relentless search for novel ideas in comedy routines even to the detriment of his stage sets and props in the same way that's a jazz musician concern above notes into a whole new musical sub-genre or Alexander Fleming was able to transform a careless mistake into a world-changing cure it's amazing how happy accidents and chancing councils can ignites great ideas thank you for watching my video and please feel free to leave a comment and feedback there you see that video you might want to click on these other cardboard adventures
