Lady Gaga delivered a surprise set at a jazz show curated by Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst
Aux Features lady gaga
Last week, Los Angeles residents adventurous enough to attend a jazz show curated by Fred Durst were treated to a special, albeit incongruous surprise when Lady Gaga unexpectedly took the stage, stealing the slot we assume was meant for the guy from Staind.
As Rolling Stone reports, the Oscar-winning singer grabbed hold of the mic for a quick two-song set Thursday night at the Black Rabbit Rose, a magic-themed bar in Hollywood where Durst organizes a weekly jazz showcase. It may seem like we pulled some of those nouns and adjectives from a hat, but we promise all of this happened and you’re not having a stroke.
For further proof, here is a video someone took.
“I’m here to ruin the party,” Gaga said dryly after taking the stage to cheers from the crowd. “I’m so sorry.” Clearly, no one was upset to see the megastar in such an intimate setting. Backed by the quartet of young musicians, Gaga performed a cover of Frank Sinatra’s “Call Me Irresponsible” before transitioning into “Fly Me To The Moon,” both of which have become staples of the jazzier half of her Las Vegas residency show.
Unfortunately, it appears there wasn’t time for Fred Durst to join her one stage for a be-bop rendition of “Break Stuff” or a smooth jazz tribute to Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water. This is a weekly show, though, so there’s always hope for a future collaboration.

The title of this article makes my brain hurt
Fred Durst is a true renaissance man… meaning he’ll die of syphilis.
Who cleans his codpiece?
It’s not syphilis, it’s jaaazzz fever, the fever you get from too much jaaazzzzz!
… Just what no one ever wanted! Hooray the end of days is fun.
Viral crapola.
Cool. Wait, what?
Goddamn. Just…what the fuck was that?
That’s tossers’ music!
I’m glad to see Durst doing something good post-fame. Jazz musicians do not get enough recognition.
Staind? Been a while since I’ve heard them.
I’m sorry.
I see what you did there…
Proving,yet again why New York is better than LA. As far as music is concerned.
If only she had the talent to back up that unwarranted confidence
LOL sure, bud. She should totally keep that horrible voice under wraps. When is your show?
Jazz show curated by Fred Durst.Fred doesn’t get paid for this. He apparently does it all for the nookie
I wonder if Durst ever books Richard Cheese.
If someone were to curate hell for me it would include jazz and Limp Bizkit.
