So ya like Jazz

Who in the world of Gatsby could be The Fresh Prince of Bel Air counter part to D.J. Jazzy Jeff or better known as simply Jazz? Well only one man truly harnesses the spontaneous and free spirited life of Jazz, Gatsby’s music man, Klipspringer. Hearing the words “spontaneous” and “free spirited” would make most think of Gatsby himself, but Gatsby was a man tied down by his desire for his true love. Klipspringer on the other hand is man of action and of the moment much like we see Jazz in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Jazz lives in the moment at all times. We see this when he spontaneously gets married and when him and his wife decide they want kids. He never has a defined plan for what he wants to do with his life, but just goes with the flow. We see this in Klipspringer too. The reader is never informed of how Gatsby and the talented musician came into contact, but we see the same instance go on with Jazz as well. Jazz mysteriously winds up as the caddie for a rich man who is later identified by Will to be Lakers superstar, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kareem’s wealth is just a tad more legit than Gatsby’s, but both men are extremely wealthy, and both Jazz and Klipspringer appear to just happen to be going with the flow and somehow end up working easy jobs for a rich men and receive great rewards in return as well.
