I had a really big chin,

So Fordham was just
like a random school?
385
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,430
No, I applied to a bunch of schools,
Fordham let me in.
386
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,346
- Why'd you pick Shaffer?
- It's the best music school in the country.

Yeah. I don't think
they like me too much.

But I don't... I don't...

I don't care too much.
I think it just... It changes.

in competitions. I just...
519
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,620
I found out I'm the youngest
person in the band.
520
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:16,666
How do you know who wins in a
music competition? Isn't it subjective?
521
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,748
- No.
- Does the studio get you a job?
522
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,580
It's not an actual studio.
523
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,660
It's the name of the ensemble,
but it's a big step forward in my career.

00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,069
I'm so glad you figured it out.
It's a nasty business, I am sure.

about your game this week?
526
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,902
- Living up to your title.
- TRAVIS: I scored a 93-yard touchdown.

528

- Is that true? That's fantastic.
- It's Division Three.
529
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:47,426
It's Carlton football. It's not even
Division Two, it's Division Three.

- You got any friends, Andy?
- No.

- I don't know. I never saw the use.

Lennon and McCartney were buddies.

Charlie Parker didn't know anybody
till Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head.

That's your idea of success?
536
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,700
Being the greatest musician of the 20th
century is anybody's idea of success.

Dying broke and drunk and full of heroin
538
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,941
at the age of 34 is not
my idea of success.
539
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,300
I'd rather die drunk, broke at 34
and have people talk about me,
540
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,580
than live to be rich and sober at 90
and nobody remember who I was.
541
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,060
But your friends will remember you,
that's the point.
542
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,661
None of us were friends with
Charlie Parker. That's the point.

of friends and plenty of purpose.

MAN 1: Marriages are very healthy.
859
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,107
Married men live much longer
than bachelors.

wives so they can be bachelors again.

Haven't you thought of getting married?

at the last moment.

to her ever since.

Not exactly.

Sean Casey's year, I think,

to say some things about me.

Otherwise, we're depriving the world
of the next Louis Armstrong.

The next Charlie Parker.
904
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:32,460
I told you about how Charlie Parker
became Charlie Parker, right?
905
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,460
- Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head.
- Exactly.
906
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:37,780
Parker's a young kid,
pretty good on the sax.
907
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:42,622
Gets up to play at a cutting session,
and he fucks it up.
908
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,630
And Jones nearly decapitates him for it.
909
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:49,466
And he's laughed off-stage.
910
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,420
Cries himself to sleep that night,
but the next morning, what does he do?
911
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,588
He practices.
912
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:59,740
And he practices and he practices
with one goal in mind,
913
01:19:59,840 --> 01:20:02,546
never to be laughed at again.
914
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:07,700
And a year later, he goes back to the
Reno and he steps up on that stage,
915
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:11,427
and plays the best motherfucking solo
the world has ever heard.
916
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:17,580
So imagine if Jones had just said:
917
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:22,866
"Well, that's okay, Charlie.
That was all right. Good job."
918
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:28,109
And then Charlie thinks to himself,
"Well, shit, I did do a pretty good job."
919
01:20:28,880 --> 01:20:30,140
End of story.
920

921

what the world wants now.

and every Starbucks "jazz" album

just proves my point, really.
926
01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,780
There are no two words in the
English language more harmful
927
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:02,823
than "good job."
928
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:09,302
But is there a line?
929
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:14,020
You know, maybe you go too far and
you discourage the next Charlie Parker
930
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:18,260
- from ever becoming Charlie Parker.
- No, man, no.
931
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,862
Because the next Charlie Parker
would never be discouraged.

01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,670
