Disklavier

Here are two suggestions:

1.  Alex Hassan.  Have a look at his website (http://www.noveltypiano.com/), but make sure you have AVG or similar protection, because it has apparently just protected me from a threat.  Alex is utterly fantastic as a novelty piano player.

2.  Jack Gibbons, Concert Pianist and superb Gershwin specialist (http://www.jackgibbons.com/)

I've met Alex many times over the years, both in the UK and Washington DC, where he lives.  Jack invited me to perform Russ Conway's "Side Saddle" as an encore at one of his Gershwin concerts in Oxford a few years ago.  He now lives in the US, and is resident at a college in, I think, Virginia. 

There is no shortage of virtuoso classical pianists, but I would suggest that to hear either of these guys playing syncopated piano on your own Disklavier at home would be quite a thrill.

Best regards,

Mike Thomson
