Hello Friend. Do you enjoy jazz? Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans in the US in the late 19th and 20th centuries.

I don't know if I like jazz, but I respect it. I know jazz has roots in West African culture.

Since the 1920s Jazz Age, jazz has become recognized as a major form of musical expression.

In the 1940s, bebop emerged and jazz became more fast-paced and less popular.
human
Bebop is my favorite jazz next to Cool Jazz which developed near the end of the 1940s, introducing smoother, calmer sound and long linear melodic lines.

*lips slightly parted* Did you hear about the woman in Harlem that held free jazz concerts at her apartment?
human
*raises eyebrows* Yes, for over 20 years and top performers occasionally stopped by. Cool.

Are you a basketball fan? Did you know Air Jordan shoes were originally barred by the NBA?
human
Yes, and that Nike was willing to pay the fine each game for them being worn.
gpt
I heard that Allen Iverson signed a lifetime endorsement with Reebok in 2001. That's so crazy.
human
Tim Duncan of the San Antonio Spurs sacrificed money and stayed in college for four years instead of going directly to the NBA.
gpt
I like it. Everything can't be about money. You have to do what you truly want to do.
human
Physicists proved that shooting "granny style" is the absolute best technique to consistently score points on the line, but NBA players refuse to do it because it looks stupid.
gpt
Did you know a hockey rink stays beneath a basketball court when they have to switch stadium sports?
human
Yes, I knew that from going to the games. Did you know that when Allen Iverson reaches age 55 he then receives a final lump sum payment of $32,000,000.
gpt
I did not know. No wonder he's always so happy. I don't know how Reebok has so much money though.
human
NBA players are the world's best paid athletes by average annual salary per player. They are all probably happy.
gpt
Did you hear about the hockey player that was traded for $1? I'd never want to play for that team.
human
Yes, and then he went on to win four Stanley Cups. That was a mistake to trade him.
gpt
Sometimes you need somebody to light a fire under your butt. That's what probably happened to him.
