Haha, that video was awesome.

My local college has a small jazz band made up of students, and at their latest performance a couple days ago they had a new pianist. He was crazy, dancing around and banging his head, making exaggerated motions and stuff. Basically trying to be showy. The funny part is, he only did that when he was hitting some simple chords, once his solos came he would completely stop and get all rigid xD

I myself try not to make any more movements than necessary. Wouldn't wanna tire myself out

Ha ha, really! But wait- I've just had a flash! What if we had training in this technique!- There could be contests and everything, and the teachers (not to mention the students) would go crazy trying to justify the technique and get perfection in it, and perfection out of it. Come on, Rach lovers, could you play and do this at the same time? And if you can't, are you rrreally talented? Ha!

Aw, Keith. I don't think he does that, exactly, nowadays, does he?

No, he doesn't. For him as a successful artist who has a choice of instruments to play on, the Soviet-type heavy-action Petrof piano as shown in the clip is a thing of the past.
