  • That's the best version of that piece I've ever heard. Seriously.

  • Mr. Hession is a brilliant pianist. However, I am of the opinion that Mr. Holland played this piece in a way that is both truer to the composer's intent(I have listened to a recording made by JPJ), and is more pleasing to listen to. These two performers have very different styles. Each lends itself to different kinds of music. Jelly Roll Morton should be played differently than James P. Johnson. I am sure Hession could give this guy valuable instruction in certain methods of playing as well.
