It’s supposed to a different song. A Jazz song. To represent that Thomas Jefferson was behind the times. He was not in the war. He was off in France and the USA was pushing forward without him. So he’s back in Jazz and the rest of the country is doing Hip Hop. Then, in the next song you see that he confidently gets right into the rap battle and more than holds his own.

Fun fact: Because Jefferson is a generation older than Hamilton, Lin-Manuel Miranda wrote him with a generation older style of rap. So his style is kind of pre-rap which came out of jazz and a lot of other styles from black culture in america.

The words that Burr introduces with is his format used in "Alexander Hamilton" and "A Winter's Ball," while the bass and piano at the beginning is the theme introduced in "My Shot." As someone mentioned, the walking bass and jazz influences are due to Jefferson missing the revolution, which is being represented by him singing jazz while everyone has transitioned into rap and needs to be caught up. As he says, he "basically missed the late 80's." The beer person is Sam Adams, which Laurens mentions drinking in "Aaron Burr, Sir"!

As with so many characters in the musical, the theme or motif of their songs is somewhat different from the others, and with Jefferson, since he's been in France trying to help out there, he missed a lot of what's been happening state-side, so his music is also different (jazzy instead of rap) but still fun. Enjoying the reactions to Hamilton! :)

The beer is Samuel Adams and I think you are trying to say that it is the second act. The song is very different! I think it has to do with Jefferson being in France for such a long time, and he is a little "behind the times". I don't know if u are aware of this, but the guy who is Lafayette (America's favorite fighting Frenchman) in Act 1 comes back in Act 2 as Thomas Jefferson. I think this song helps the audience to quickly understand that the actor is now playing a different role.

As noted by other commenters, this was a conscious stylistic choice on Miranda's part, showing that while Jefferson and Hamilton had their roots in much of the same Enlightenment philosophies (symbolized by rhythm & blues here), Hamilton and his friends had actually had to build something new (hip-hop) while Jefferson was able to treat the political issues in a more abstract manner from the safety of France. You'll see them get even more into the nitty-gritty of this essential conflict in the next number, and how Jefferson managed to catch up VERY quick Oh, and this song is a perfect example of something I mentioned in a previous comment: Notice that when Hamilton introduces himself to Jefferson, he sings his name in the exact same way that he always does, despite the fact that it doesn't really fit the melody of the time. It's a clever way of further showing how he's either unwilling or unable to compromise in the slightest at this point in his life (You can see the same in the earlier song "Satisfied," though appropriately, the symbolism there is how perfectly his introduction fits with the melody surrounding it despite coming from an entirely different song.
