I stumbled upon these instruction videos quite by accident when watching the music genius chico marx piano clips. I was absoutely rivited and hung on dave frank's every word! SO interesting and informative! Let's have more!
Thanks so much for doing this! I am enjoying this immensely. Please allow one observation/correction: Chico actually came off his glisses not by "shooting the keys" but by landing on his index finger sideways (as he does here in "Monkey Business"). Shooting the keys directly off a gliss would make the "shot" hard to see. He picked up his hand before the gliss to make it more visible and this heightened the comic effect. I wish I had the time to cop his style! Maybe in the next life...

Why is it when people imitate him, their hands never quite look like they're in the right position? Is he really just that good? XD

yes, it's important to follow your gliss correctly:)
