1Do A Jazz is a series of somewhat-comedic short stories centring around a group of childhood friends who now live and work around a coffee shop and/or jazz bar by the name of the Seduce Café (which everybody swears was named by somebody else, but which was really named by Michael and Louise). The majority of the plotlines centers around the resident Jazz Band Do A Jazz and how much they appear to hate each other, and the general relationships of those that live and work in and around the Seduce Café.

4!!The tropes used are:
5* ActuallyIAmHim: How Laine and Louise met James for the first time. Having known him on the internet for a while but not actually knowing exactly what he looked like, they were rather confused by exactly where he was, so they asked the nearest person, who turned out to be him.
6* AltText: Laine's commentary on the short stories either James or Louise narrate. Due to his to-the-point nature, they tend to be heavily condensed versions of a few paragraphs' worth of PurpleProse, while both James and Louise are prone to.
7** For example, after Louise has spent two paragraphs explaining how a saxophone works, he comments, "Alternatively, you need to blow between the reed and the mouthpiece or it hisses."
8* BackhandedApology: Louise delivers a particularly scathing one to Laine, to the extent that it makes him ''cry''.
9--> "Well, God, you ridiculous idiot; I'm terribly sorry if stating EXACTLY WHAT IS TRUE causes you offense! Because I am completely correct, and I refuse to concede on ''this'' argument, because we've had it ''so many fucking times!''"
10* CurseCutShort: Laine adores doing this to Louise.
11* RealMenWearPink: Laine and James both wear eye make-up to perform.
