Jazz Solo


The longest jazz solo ever performed was by an 11 year old hugh grant. it went for just over 6 minutes and he denies that it ever happened to this day. the whole thing was recorded by his step father on one of those handy-cams that was big enough to take a vhs tape. hugh grant was wearing a rabbit costume and an accordion fell into the mouth hole in the rabbit costume and slightly concussed the boy and the accordion kind of loosened and got tangled up round his body and the jazz solo ensued. his step father was recording some birds in a tree and so it is very lucky that he was an avid bird watcher or else the footage wouldn't even exist. just after a bootleg of this recording came out jazz musicians began playing in the 'grant suit' style, where they would try and drop instruments into animal costumes that they wear to get it as good as hugh did that memorable june afternoon.
