Can someone please recomend me some jazz songs or albums that is similar to the song they are playing, while Giant is carried away to get beaten up, and he is yelling out Bleek. The song that is going really fast and I guess you would categorize it as bebop. Thanks! - @Wednesday, August 20, 2014 7:35 PM
