Whiplash is not a Jazz Movie

Jazz Video Guy Bret Primack explains why Whiplash, is not a Jazz film. The drummer, played by Miles Teller, as a student jazz drummer who seeks the respect of an abusive teacher played by J. K. Simmons, who won the Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor. As Bret explains, this is fiction, a drama, and the physical and emotional abuse that happens in the film could never happen in real life.
