Beautiful. Inspiring story. I love the way you visualized the change of view of the barber and the little detail that at the end the text "White only" was removed from the window. Also that in the end the barber plays jazz music in the background while shaving colored people, but that he still goes for the marching music when he shaves white customers. I feel that for enrichment it is not necessary to change all your customs completely. Wich means that changing views doesn't mean that you become someone else. It's widening your perspective and heart that makes the difference. Again, very very inspiring. Congratulations.

Jazz, soul, this short movie made my day.

[@chasingthewind33]

Man. You just gotta love the music.

[@AvitalShtap]

Beautiful message. The character design was very Pixar-esque, too. Love it all the way!

[@mortezakarbalaie519]

people weren't born racist , society teach them to be so , the little things in life remind us of who we are , we are all humans just like flowers has many colors , also man ! there is only good man and bad man

It's called symbolism; the kind of music being played is rather symbolic. The music the man plays on his phonograph is rigid and structured, much like society and even when he has the trumpet inside his shop he resists change because he's not accustomed to it. Jazz is very free and structured differently than the music in the beginning, which was showing something about the social problems of that era. When the man gives into playing jazz he realizes he's the same as them: he's human. Symbolism.

[@samquek1025]

So interesting, in Singapore when I am young and gay in the 70s, this type of music is only the rich or english spoken people. Total difficult to understand what symbolic is. However it is good to know.

[@dragonson04]

I can't get enough of that Jazz bit....

[@HigherStateOfYou]

Absolutely charming, enchanting and creative. I love it!

[@carolinelockett8198]

All the stories ESMA make are so wholesome and sweet. They teach such good lessons, if everyone watched these I garuntee the world would be a better place and everyone would have learned to love there neighbour as themselves !

[@08fighter08]

I clapped at the end. Very cool man!

[@billlevanny700]

This was such a good film! I'm going to show it to every one!

[@orchidlilly7518]

Music is universal* Thank-you*

[@eDrIClImOAnCo]

A swing of change that fills the air, With jazzy muse to walk and dare. Vibrant sound with beated tune, That burn your soul with passion boon. Play your show, strum and blow, To give it all for all to know. A swing of change that fills the air, A swing of change to be and fair.

[@titavaughns7698]

[@NaomiRocker]

That is so beutifull! And music can change people realy!

[@tycko4]

This is one of the reasons I started playing trumpet 4 years ago, the age of swing and jazz, and how it is perfectly expressed in this short.

[@LeonardMeltsner]

I've crushed my bell a number of times like that.

[@PaintedGlitter]

Oooh, you're right! Haha, to think I never noted its existence.... thanks for telling! :)

[@stonehorn59]

Really great work!!! The message is fine and the technical/artstical realisation is beautiful. Very high quality work! My compliments.

[@aviewfroma-broad5050]

A brilliant way to show how people can change their perceptions and their actions when it comes to racism and exclusion. Loved how it ended.

the power of music

Except for the fact that Swing is a sub-genre of jazz. Swing is jazz, just a style of it.
