"Today"? The man's 59 years old. Are you comparing him to Justin Timberlake or someone. Look, just because he's doesn't play in any run-down jazz joints below the radar, don't mean he's no good. I can bet you're basing your assumptions on a few hits you've heard.
Who knows, you may well be a better pianist, but I doubt he's gonna lose any sleep over some arrogant jazz elitist poking jabs at him on a youtube video.

You're ignorant. You're one of those people who thinks that someone who can parrot some really complicated piece of music, after learning it for months, is brilliant.
There's more to being a pianist than classical playing. Joel is an incredible improviser, and technical player. Remember, he was in his fifties when that classical album was done, and he has short fingers. He's a better pianist than you or anyone you know will ever be.

You sure got my number!

The sax player is actually Lou Marini, the saxophonist from the original Saturday Night Live band. This was Live Aid which John Mellencamp asked Billy Joel to be a part of at the last minute, and Rivera couldn't make it.
