Not particularly.  He even fumbled an easy question on spicks and specks ;D.  He's apparently in boston now studying Jazz piano.

He seems very energetic at the piano and a funny character.

I haven't heard him play a lot but what I heard seemed like he was playing in a concerto - a bit too much projection which sounded like banging - very pianistic approach to making music.
