Skalpel: Sculpture
Skalpel are nu jazz DJs and musicians, Marcin Cichy and Igor Pudło, from Wrocław in Poland. Their musical style is a distinctive blend of hip hop beats, laced with samples lifted from the rich seam of Polish jazz records of the 1960s and 1970s.

Morphine: Cure for Pain (live)
A super cool live performance of the jazz/blues trio Morphine, steaming from Boston, that gained much popularity in the early through late 90's due to their exciting and unpredictable performances. Also notice the bass being played is a 2 string WITH A SLIDE!!! Very innovative indeed :) To bad Mark Sandman (Bass & Vocals) had to leave this Earth too soon :(

Cab Calloway & Betty Boop - Minnie the Moocher (1932)
Plot: Betty Boop runs away from home with her friend, Bimbo the Dog. They end up in a cave where a walrus, with Cab Calloway's voice, sings "Minnie the Moocher" and dances to the melancholy song. He is joined in the performance by various ghosts, goblins, skeletons and other frightening things. Betty and Bimbo are subjected to skeletons drinking at a bar; ghost prisoners sitting in electric chairs; a mother cat with skull-like eyes feeding her equally empty-eyed kittens; and worse.
