As a classically-inspired American composer, I have long been under the wish to write a few more jazzier pieces. I am all the more inspired to write pieces with jazz and class, now. Thank you.

Claude Debussy, "Le petit nègre". Check also "Golliwog's Cakewalk" from "Children's Corner". Something by Shostakovich - look for his Jazz Suites. Maurice Ravel, Concerto for piano in G major (1st movement).
Although I've never composed anything, I now want to make a concerto for harsh vocals, although it would probably be called something other than a concerto. I'm just learning terminology for classical music.
All this equation of minor scales and flattened notes to sadness seems to be a very "modern western" thing to me, inheritance from Haydn, Mozart or Beethoven. Before that, the divide isn't that clear and treaties from the Renaissance give a different picture. There, music in major modes is called harsh, warlike when that in minor is soft or sensuous. So when we hear the foreign Blues or Jewish Klezmer as sad, I guess we do so with the culture of the descendants of Mozart more than that of its originators and misread some of its intonation.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I am baffled by how few views this channel gets. Keep up the good work plz... the views will come!

George Gershwin’s music changed my life… he was a genius like there wasn’t any other. Such a shame he died way too early.
Agreed! A terrible tragedy for music to die so young, along with Mozart (35) and Schubert (31)

Could you identify the music from 4:20 to 4:48? I'm always interested in this sort of hybrid.

My suggestion is to raise the volume of your voice relative to the music that you add in.
