Synopsis
A jazz musician and interviewer don't speak the same language. The interviewer is too literal for jazz musician Shorty Petterstein, who is accustomed to expressing himself through music. Petterstein is a wacky beatnik, while the interviewer is a square who just doesn't get it as the Stan Getz combo blows and riffs off camera. "Like, don't hang me - I didn't wanna fall up here in the first place!"
