And to clarify, it looked like the audience was not all anime fans (although who can tell aside from stereotypes) I suspect that jazz fans were there.

In a review I wrote I stated: "In the movie itself, this scene was incredibly intense and memorable, and it actually brought members of the audience to tears. Not just movie audience members either, there were people around me, in real life, including the girl sitting next to me, openly weeping during the finale of the film. I’ve cried during films, and I’ve been in theaters when sad moments hit that make people cry, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a music film get so raw and emotional in its finale that people started losing it. It was a powerful scene, and perhaps one of the best bits of anime I’ve seen all year. I mentioned before that I am not really into the genre, but the performance in the film was amazing. Maybe I like jazz more than I thought?!"
