Commenters repeatedly call it a favorite and a mind-blowing introduction to jazz.

A mashup that plays a Miles Davis improvisation video alongside an LCD Soundsystem clip with no editing, so the two seem to perform together. It also became known for an affectionate mouse cursor moving along.

Miles Davis improvising over LCD Soundsystem as a jazz introduction.
This reminded me of this 10 year old YouTube video that creates a "duet" between that soundtrack and LCD Soundsystem's New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down, which served as one of my most memorable early introductions to jazz: [this video]

Mashup that improves on the original song.
How did you manage to share the song without also sharing that amazing mashup? One of those rare exceptions, where overlaying another song improves the original: [this video]
