Did you notice that when Morton is playing the left hand "stride" part, the camera is off the keyboard? Maybe Clarence Williams III (the actor) couldn't play that fast. Stride can get really hard when it's sped up, which is why they probably spared him from having his left hand jump left and right 4 times a second. Any ideas?
1st of all, it's no crazy freestyle. it has a very deliberate structure, the right-hand melody consisting of 2x2 bars, repeated and shifted chromatically, accompanied by left hand base chords, with snowballing snippets, variations and cadenzas for added effect, obviously.
2nd of all, CW III cannot play the piano at all, he's just approximating to the best of his ability. I'd say it's totally obvious, but that would be too obvious, obviously.
The audience must be idiots to boo down such magnificent listening skills. Playing a piece by ear at the spot would require someone of sufficiently advanced musical maturity and sensitivity. Take Art Tatum, who, when he was challenged by Bud Powell, said, "look, you come in here tomorrow, and whatever your left hand does, I'll do with my right".
Interesting to know that there ARE indeed people who could do such marvelous deeds.
anyone know where I can download this song? and not regular version that you can find that ennio morricone does, but THIS exact version where he rolls the bottom chords. sounds soooo much better with it.
yes its a piece for 2 pianos, and what you hear playback is played by 2 pianos. its intentional, because the symbolic and poetic idea of the original story is that this pianist was said to sound as if he had 4 hands.
If anyone is wondering, the version 1900 plays of The Crave here is slightly more difficult and you can hear in his improvisation that he is just messing around.
The last piece is called "Enduring Movement" by Italian composer Ennio Morricone. It's a piano composition for 4 hands so, no, a solo pianist could never perform that in it's original version.
believe it or not, the crazy fast song 1900 plays was actually recorded by one guy who actually played it. it's the guy who wrote all the original pieces for the movie, Ennio Morricone.
The audience in the film was pissed off to hear the same piece of music played by 1900 - but I wasn't.... I loved the piece and was happy to hear it twice! In fact of the 937 593 times it's been played on Youtube, 937 500 times was me.
Seriously, was Jelly Roll Morton THIS arrogant? I mean, claiming to be an inventor of jazz would require someone of guts and pride, but could Morton really walk into a bar, call his opponent "an ass", and frown snobbishly whenever he plays?
The real man the challenger was playing, was not an asshole. He was pretty down to earth and loved knowing others could play jazz at any level. Hollywood always seems to make villens out of people and saints out of monsters.
If any person of color walked into a such a room during the early or mid-20th Century and behaved as Jelly Roll Morton was depicted in this film, he would be swinging from a tree like strange fruit before his black fingers had the privledge of touching those white keys. This pair of scenes may be a fantasy, but it is also an insult history and to the memory of Jelly Roll Morton.
@odotson Not every nation or person was a racist, but I can agree with you to a modest degree. I also agree that its a shame how they show Jelly in a bad light when he was likely a good person [without searching for some article on him in real life].
Acting should not be considered profession; sure it's part of the movie. But hiring actors is determined rather by -- physique looks, voice, AGE, and other non skill factors than how good the person can ACT. That's why you see little kids on TV drama or movie film. Professional? Not really, as long as the person is outgoing , positive, and fluent to the language of the film, anyone can act, even movie director . I'm not putting their effort down just ridiculous to label acting as professional.
@KoreanMale12 I disagree with you about acting isn't a profession, I agree anyone can do it to a degree, and I [in an off beat way you did not mention at all] agree that putting down acting for a résumé would be a joke for most jobs.
In this movie, if I were Jelly Roll Morton and I heard a man play my piece identically to the way I just played it after only hearing it once, I would congradulate him and just go home. The skill it would take to do that would be equil to that of Mozart. That alone would prove that 1900 was almost unbeatable.

@Santosificationable I think that the audience was expecting 1900 to bring in his A-game at the point where he copied Jelly Roll's playing. Actually, for me, the fact he could hear something and replicate it it perfectly was even more impressive than the piece he played to kick Jelly Roll's 'ass'....
Takes something special to do that..... Even if it's just a film, and not real!
Wow - I never knew Tim Roth could play the piano like that. I bet it was just him pretending to play, and just a recording or something like that. The other guy too - I don't think he was really playing the piano. This is all fake.
apparently tim roth took some piano lessons for this movie though...just so he could get the hand positions right. i liked that fact, that is dedication to your work. yes, he's still pretending, but he went through some of the motions.so koodos to him.
@braducsb2 Look, yes, it's not Tim Roth playing. Why didn't they hire a musician to act for his role instead? I don't know exactly, but why hire a musician when you can get a good actor and make the musician play the soundtrack instead?
Your rants against these dubbings are useless. That's how many movies are. Accept it; you hire a good actor for the protagonist musician, you hire a good musician to play the soundtrack.
This isn't a showcase of a real musician's talent through a movie.
3:05 - "You asked for it Asshole.." ---- WOW- OMG- That was Brilliant!
so many good quotes in these scenes.
His performance is so stunning, so HOT, he lights a fucking cigarette off the strings of his piano.... 5:51 "You smoke it, I don't know how" sticks it in Jelly's mouth. SUCKA!
Enduring movement is going to be my ringtone from now on. I remember watching tihs movie for the first time when I was like 15 years old and thinking how cool and amazing this scene was. I was like that lady, mouth open, except that I have hair.
1900 indeed "showed-off" his technical talent more than his musicality, because that's what he sensed Morton showed out of him anyway.
Morton in this video is portrayed to be extremely arrogant, and thinks he's "star" of the show. 1900 wanted to prove him wrong swiftly and quickly...by playing that hard piece.
everyone here is talking about how he owned him cuz 1900 played another piece which was so complex and fast..half of the people commenting here have not played a piano in their whole life. yes 1900's final piece was harder, but it seriously had not musicality to it it was just a bashing of keys. i prefered morton's final piece to 1900's because that's music. but then again i may be biased because i love playing jazz/ragtime on the piano.
@ForzaAquila It took a while for me to get into the piece, but once I did I really like it now. It's like... Flight of the Bumblebees: Piano Free Style.
I think it's the high key notes along with the repetition of lows that you need to listen for (which is why I only got into it halfway, before I caught onto what I needed to hear it also sounded like notes being pounded on)
I didn't particularly care for Morton's last one mostly because of personal preferences... I just didn't like the piece (I felt this even before I heard 1900's).
1900's last piece was like information overload. It made me breathless just trying to keep up with keeping track of the notes! Yet there was something about it those occasional high picthes that pleased my ears.
But IF I had to listen to either song for a whole day... I'd go nuts.
The last piece has probably been sped up as The Crave has. The Crave is actually in D but its playing back in E flat due to the tempo being sped.

Second part: I can play that also.
Third part: Well, fuck you too.

ForzaAquila,
1900 indeed "showed-off" his technical talent more than his musicality, because that's what he sensed Morton showed out of him anyway.
Morton in this video is portrayed to be extremely arrogant, and thinks he's "star" of the show. 1900 wanted to prove him wrong swiftly and quickly...by playing that hard piece.

everyone here is talking about how he owned him cuz 1900 played another piece which was so complex and fast..half of the people commenting here have not played a piano in their whole life. yes 1900's final piece was harder, but it seriously had not musicality to it it was just a bashing of keys. i prefered morton's final piece to 1900's because that's music. but then again i may be biased because i love playing jazz/ragtime on the piano.

@ForzaAquila It took a while for me to get into the piece, but once I did I really like it now. It's like... Flight of the Bumblebees: Piano Free Style.
I think it's the high key notes along with the repetition of lows that you need to listen for (which is why I only got into it halfway, before I caught onto what I needed to hear it also sounded like notes being pounded on)

@YourHorridDaydream so you're saying that if you had to listen to morton's last song or 1900's last song for a whole day you'd prefer 1900's? XD

@ForzaAquila Wait, what? I say no such thing..
I didn't particularly care for Morton's last one mostly because of personal preferences... I just didn't like the piece (I felt this even before I heard 1900's).
1900's last piece was like information overload. It made me breathless just trying to keep up with keeping track of the notes! Yet there was something about it those occasional high picthes that pleased my ears.
But IF I had to listen to either song for a whole day... I'd go nuts.

@YourHorridDaydream 1900's last piece was all technique and no soul.
