Peter Nero plays Stella By Starlight

Peter Nero (and his bassist Michael Barnett) do a sound check just prior to performance. This song wasn't even in the performance but I guess Peter felt like goofing around with "Stella." This entire clip is totally spontaneous and he had no idea he would be filmed beforehand. The camera was there to shoot the performance that evening, but once the sound check started I couldn't resist turning the camera on. Unlike my other videos of Peter which were taken with a low end digital camera, I had my friend Bob Derounian bring some professional equipment in for the shoot. Nobody Plays the Piano like Peter Nero. He can play anything. Enjoy!

If you think he's hot here, you should see him perform his program material. There's no one else like him. "Hail the Conquering Nero!"

@Steve6337 because a jazz musician can play alone too, without other jazz musicians.

He is playin' with a bassist here...and that bassist is a jazz musician!

@Steve6337 same reason art plays mostly solo, he can cover all parts better than the other musicians

Nero is a great pianist but he never plays with other jazz musicians. Why?
