I forgot about that scene.
Depends on what you mean by "jazz". I have some Ahmad Jamal and Flim & the BBs TriCycle (one of the first DDD mastered albums I ever owned when CD players were expensive and rare). Or are you talking Kenny G?
Fun trivia bit, The Flim & the BBs album had a warning about the extremely low noise floor of the recording and to not set your volume based on the typical background 'hiss' of analog. They have a song that starts out really quiet and then BANG! "Whoa...holy hell that was loud. I think I just blew my speakers."

I did say along with some random noise.
Keep up Gman
I was thinking maybe Art of Noise. What's classified as "noise" varies by the listener (I am master of the obvious).
My musical taste is very eclectic. I love the music of the '70s and '80s, some '60s (not a fan of the Beatles). Then I also like some newer stuff like Linkin Park. The emotion conveyed by Chester Bennington's vocals was really unmatched IMO.

For me, Jazz is something that when it influences any other type of music, that music is improved because of it, but I can't get into Jazz itself. I'm sure there are jazz artists/songs that I would like, but I can't dive into the genre enough to find out. The first minute or so of what Gman just posted above didn't make me want to immediately swan dive into an empty pool, for example. I strongly relate to this piece by Paul F Tompkins.

The closest I get to jazz, is listening to lofi hiphop on the ChilledCow YouTube live stream channel. That might be so far derived from jazz that it's a stretch to even mention though.
Some jazz can be really disjointed, so I can understand it not being everyone's cup of tea. I love listening to piano, and I guess I inherited an appreciation of jazz by listening to my dad's LPs in my impressionable years when I was a kid. Ahmad Jamal is in there, along with Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. I remember enjoying the classic comedy of performers like Stan Freberg, particularly Stan Freberg Presents The History of the United States of America.

As far as possessing the content, I know of TV shows that I enjoyed on PBS when I was younger that are available nowhere now. I really want to re-watch them, but I can't find them on any medium. It wouldn't surprise me if this becomes an issue again in the future.
I think we should have a call to arms type search for music/shows that people want to get a hold of. That way people with way better search skills can see what they can find. Not like much else is going on.
