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

This reminds me, somewhat tangentially, of one my favorite videos, the Miles Davis / LCDS YT Duet w/ the oddly affectionate mouse cursor ▶ this video
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
Can't help but remember LCD Soundsystem + Miles Davis duet from 2011: ▶ this video Blew my mind back than as it still does today
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
