Acrobatic Piano Duet (When the Saints Go Marching In)

Mark Chang and Jeremy Kurn playing "When the Saints Go Marching In" taking turns, improvising acrobatic positions, and getting downright silly while keeping the tune going fast. Be sure to catch the surprise grand finale upside-down one-armed-handstand-while-still-playing maneuver. Musical acrobats. New Orleans style Cutting Contest. Note the use of a toy piano and playing piano with toes. Recorded late summer 1998 at the ASUCD Coffee House in Davis, CA. We barely rehearsed this performance- we just showed up at the coffeehouse and started goofing around at the piano. Pardon the casual dress- summer in Davis is very very hot. The rough-looking character sitting in a chair eating a tub of yogurt and granola is the legendary Dave Pyles. Camera work by Yasa Henson, creator of the Muse Matrix.

This reminds me of what I read about the "rent parties" they would have in the old Fats Waller and others would do this same thing.

Hey! Awsome! I was in the CoHo when they were doing this. I ran into Mark this last weekend at Eli and Julia's wedding, then tonight I saw Jeremy at our friend Jacob's wedding. We were sitting around and I was telling my wife about his duet with mark and he mentioned this video was on youtube. I love how small the world can feel sometimes. Domies Rule!
