  3. Its was certainly an optimistic person… For me he represents what I call INTELLIGENCE in music… The rhythm, the primitve technicity and always the sense of humor… JAZZ HAS REALLY LOST HIS SENSE OF HUMOR… LIKE LIFE AND PEOPLE IN GENERAL … OHROOONEY!

  5. I don't comprehend a single word of the introducer. But music speaks by itself. Fantastic video, amazing when he plays piano with his returned hand.
    I love his enthusiasm too.

  9. chère big mama, ce sera donc avec plaisir cette danse… et concernant "ZI PERFECT US OR ENGLISH SPEAKING", "a spanish cow in the hand is better than two in the bush…" on a d'autres nœuds à se faire qu'avec ce genre de détails… Nous sommes a des ages où l'essentiel ne se situe pas là … en tout cas pour ma part … et en tant que monsieur de la com, l'important est que le message passe… isn't it ? C'est comme en musique, les meilleurs titres ont été composés avec seulement 3 notes…!! Qu'en pense Mister PAT ?
