Well, I Should Have... (subtitled Learned How To Play Piano) is an experimental jazz[1] album by American comedy actor H. Jon Benjamin. It was released on November 27, 2015 on the Sub Pop label.[2] The album was intentionally recorded to sound bad, since, as the album's title indicates, Benjamin does not know how to play piano, but still does so on the album,[3] and Benjamin has never liked jazz very much.[4] Guests who appear on the album include Aziz Ansari and Kristen Schaal. Every song on the album but one was mixed by Mark Desimone; the only song he did not mix was mixed by Bob's Burgers creator Loren Bouchard.[3]
