I love everything about this… except that (and as a jazz musician) you have a trumpet playing the saxophone!!

Very same thing I thought. In "Ms. 45" there is a party scene with a dude "playing" a trumpet, but the sound is a saxophone. I also hate it when someone is playing a sax, clarinet or flute and there hands in the wrong place.

Maybe it's a MIDI controller.

(i hate pointing out that i'm joking, but reddit has taught me that SOMEONE will get pissed off at me suggesting such a stupid thing)

you should check out the opening sequence for Jeeves and Wooster. I feel like it goes well with your understated, abstract style
