So, here's the thing. Ford Pines doesn't like jazz. Sure, he can appreciate it in an abstract sort of way. Objectively one has to be pretty skilled to play jazz well. It's just even played well, he doesn't like it. He's only here because Larry likes jazz, and it's so rare that Ford gets to Have A Real Life Positive Social Interaction that he'll put up with a lot for it.

Besides, the power's still out at his place in Kihada, so what else is he going to do all day?

"Did you move here precisely when the Jazz Street Festival was set to happen on purpose or was that a happy accident?" He speaks in Japanese, because, well... he's been here for decades by this point, so it's become the default.
