Referring to the pizza comment and his habit of looking upand out, perhaps it is his way of connecting with the audience similarly to someone giving a speech from a paper. I personally hate when a speech giver reads from a paper and never looks up. It's important to make eye connection. Also could be Adam's way displaying confidience. My piano teacher always stressed not to look down at the keys. Could've had a different stage set-up, but then the folks would not be dazzled by the hammers.
very good :-) technique almost comparable with peterson! one thing though, why does he keep turning round to the audience? is he waiting for a pizza to be delivered?
@samuso86 It's a rather dated mannerism found in variety performers - Russ Conway, Winifred Atwell and Liberace all did it. To modern eyes it looks a bit contrived - but hey, these people give us so much pleasure with their playing, so who cares? :-)
Out of curiosity, has (1) young Adam had any formal music training (2) can he play classical music (3) Is he just a naturaly born and gifted pianist that can remember everything he hears??? Got to give him full marks for his God given talent. I wish I had that much talent in my little finger !!!
What MsLily said x's 10000. I just LOVE this. Hey in old time vaudville, the player always turned to his audience!

I got here early (Views: 0)for the great rendition of Hallelujah which I've always loved on piano rolls. Adam didn't let me down!
