Beautiful concert. Bill wanted to blow up this piano. It must been below zero on that day or some other massive atmospheric event that caused this piano to be that out of tune. You've got the best jazz pianist in the world coming into Iowa to record a television special, and he gets this? The high end sounds like a barrel house tack piano. Where was my piano tuning brother Steve Rasch that day??? Art Tatum used to love playing bad pianos with missing keys and work around them. Bill? Not so much.

"Sei ovunque, dovunque una volta

ti abbia potuto sapere, vedere, amare:

strada, cima, foresta con te mi salutano

paese e città, giorno e notte

ti evocano sempre montagna d'autunno e neve dell'inverno

riva, e fischio di treni, e tremano lì in ogni cosa

venticinque ardenti primavere e estati

del primo desiderio e di una follia che ancora dura".

[chrish12345]

yeah those high notes are painful, I am wondering is this why Bill kept his playing pretty much in the centre of the keyboard fo this gig?
