  • WOW! i love these guys! that's so awesome. It looks great like this too, although if you stare at their hands too much especially when they're playing chords they look like monster's mouths- or maybe that's just me?

  • C'est vraiment genial!

  • this video would never work if there was a black dude in the group lol...

  • @juzzyfuzz That's right. They are squeezing the horns inbetween keyboard notes in that part.

  • This performance belongs on Sesame Street! It's so fun to watch. I especially like watching it while blocking the faces, so you just see the hands. I am telling you, put Kermit and his friends' faces up top and you'd have a blockbuster! Of course, the educational benefits to this are beyond compare. The interaction of the hands, rather than the players tells a completely different story. As for the playing and arrangements, bravo!

  • that's really really really an original genious idea, it gives a whole different perspective into te music and the individual dynamics of each hand, it's freaking awesome in some moments like the four glissandos which makes a trully wonderful hand dance. Please make a new song like this!

  • Composing something like this - the ultimate genius!

  • WOW! I just love it :D

  • Great stuff guys..!!!

  • This is amazing! It deserves so many more views than it does!
