  • Many piano duets can often get a bit "floaty" and rubato... but this is just SOO FUNKY. Delightful!

  • @Mochito88 this isn't latin. it's bossa. and it's called improvisation, i'm sure they knew the tune very well but ad-libbed the complete performance. sounds like they bounced off and provided the right space for each other beautifully. how bout you 're-do' this performance and post us a copy if you think it can be done better.

  • @markmarktarmann Bravo! Mochito88  wants to be holier than the Pope.

  • What a joy to watch. Those gorgeous improvised chords -- oh my !!

  • @deependful it's a brasilian song, written probably before "bossa nova" was used to describe the "new thing".-(wiki)i see a lot of brasilians nitpicking here about US jazzers inserting rumba into samba,ok. fine. they definitely do that here, and bop, swing, blues, deep purple,cha cha, classical lines. nice challenge to mochito88 who apparently got his Phd in "load of shit phraseology."

  • @Mochito88 context, hommes. check the context.2 150,000$ grand pianos, european sit down crowd.2 genius Jazz(marketing term musicians. improvisers, getting paid to play together for an hour. if you need solid Salsa (marketing term) for dancing go get out your tito puente. or gloria estefan( joke).you don't know WTF yer talking about.Bossa Nova (marketing term) means" the new thing."-wiki.It's a Brasilian song interpreted by US jazz musicians therefore i'm sure Luiz Bonfa is smiling down on them.

  • @Mochito88 i try to imagine you at rehearsal w/your salsa band. you're the singer? or the choreographer? saying to the band "okay fellas, we FIRST need to dance the harmonies together RYTHMICALLY! " and the salseros are goin' "who the fuck is this menso?" Tom Waits once said to his band " i want this song over easy, not fried". that i can almost understand. your perfect load of shit phrase,no lo comprendo, vato . nice cut and paste. if we need wiki, we'll go there ourselves.

  • Great performance!

  • C'est trop trop bon ....
