I thought it was good with the right amount of cheesiness.

but isn't cheesiness the antithesis of the jazz sensibility? the passion and the sensuality of most jazz music?

The whole point of the song was it was meant to be popular, people loved it, it made money.

It allowed Gosling to make money and open his own club so he could play his kind of jazz.

It's an okay song as far as I'm concerned.

Makes sense... the scene where the two leads argue about the validity of doing this work was so good... the dinner scene...

Also, the John Legend music is contrasted well with Seb's club in the future...
