      +andkontos what's the point in speeding up a JAZZ song? Jazz is supposed to be slow.
      If you want faster speed there's more appropriate remixes. Just my 2 cents

    • @andkontos

      +heyjeySigma Jazz doesn't necessarily have to be slow. Listen to any Charlie Parker, John Coltrane or Thelonious Monk, and you'll understand fast-paced Jazz.
