Also, I can appreciate that Nimmo's a musician. I'm a musician, so having a little bit of musical interjection here and there is nice. Nimmo goes a little overboard, though, to the point where it feels very much like he is bragging about how well he can play, how well he can improvise, how many songs he knows, how cool jazz is, how cool jazz is, and how cool jazz is. I like jazz. I do. It's just that I think Nimmo wants us to look up to him for some kind of knowledge he thinks no one else could possibly have.
Update: I couldn't finish it. It was too much of the same. Sorry, Nimmo. ( )
