this guy is something else! seriously though, he has tourette syndrom, but the amazing thing is that when he plays the piano, he stops ticking. he's just an amazing pianist, to say the least (one of my personal favorites!). I don't see any other pianist play with as much passion as this guy. his soloing is flawless and comes up with the nicest melodies, and he comes up with the best chord voicing (not to mention structure). hopefully I'll get the chance to see him live again haha
