The fact that The Lion is playing substantially louder than both giants on either side of him just proves to me how intimidating he must have been as a stride piano player in his prime.

It was said that when The Lion played a venue, the first thing he did was check the piano. If it was out of tune or there was a sour key, he'd play the piano hard enough to snap at least one string, justifying not having to play that piano. Probably an apocryphal story, but it aligns with how vigorously he could play even past his prime.

@@matthunt3499 Sadly most of the Lion's stories may have been apocryphal, but we're lucky to have them to give color to the mythos of that era of playing

As I understood it he would refuse to play the piano and if he had to he would play hard enough to snap the strings. @@matthunt3499

Billy Taylor was so cool looking. He was an early jazz educator in public and private schools all over the country with his slide shows and a record album that played along with the slides.

A fan, appreciator of those who came before and a torchbearer of the music. Those people who were the bridges to the past were very important in their own right. Two of these guys we see were born in the 1890s!

I love these guys for my entire life! I can't even bother to imagine what life would be without them. In the beginning of the first chorus, Duke is playing like the Lion. And The Lion's playing like Duke. 😂🤣❤

Three masters of both the piano and Jazz. Willie the Lion is beyond a master- he is like Louis Armstrong, at another supra human level of both talent and intellect. The Duke is my favorite of these few but that's taste.

He wasn't there in person, of course, but to those of us who followed jazz in the late 60's and early 70's his distance learning featured the basics of jazz history, jazz technical structure, and a performance. In short, he was the pioneer in music class jazz representation.
