Star Wars | "Cantina Band" | Ragtime Piano Duet | Martin Spitznagel & Bryan Wright

NEW! Buy it on iTunes! http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/star-wars-cantina-band-in/id429518895?uo=4

Here are Martin Spitznagel (me, on left) and Bryan Wright (username "bixvenuti") having some fun performing "Cantina Band" by John Williams. We were giving a concert in Pittsburgh on March 28, 2009, and needed a tune to end with. We didn't have anything prepared, so we got together the afternoon of the concert and figured out this arrangement.

Bryan and I both specialize in ragtime and early American piano music, so it's kind of awesome that John Williams chose to score the seedy, dangerous cantina in "A New Hope" with ragtime.

For more info on us, visit Bryan's website at http://www.rivermontrecords.com and my website at http://www.spitzfire.com. Thanks for watching!

@redblueredblue100 cant you bring them with you to the millennium falcon instead?

[MsMormoopidae]

I like the li'l giggle at the end.

You guys rock. I'm a veteran muscian, slightly jaded. I find that watching the faces and expressions of people who are playing their music and playing it well is a wonderful and revitalizing thing. Thanks for making me smile at your enthusiasm and your own smiles. Your happiness made me happy!

Je vais pas perdre de temps avec toi. Tu m'as tout l'air d'être partisan de ces néo-adaptations de Star Wars. Pourquoi pas se branler devant la version Blu-Ray de la menace fantôme?

[Machootito]

mais pas du tout, l'élu c'est anakin ! désolé mais je parle pas aux gens qui n'ont rien compris à ce chef d'oeuvre

[Ianvraimenttrropsolo]

Tu veux parler du sourire lorsqu'il se fait tuer par Dark Vador? Il me semble évident qu'il a cerné que l'élu était luke... Je ne vois pas pourquoi cette question ferait débat? Tu as d'autres réponses éventuelles, ton avis m'intérésse.

[Machootito]

vous pensez quoi du sourire d'obiwan kenobi dans le IV ?

[MrMjfan1998]

Bravo!!!!!! GREAT!!!!
