Re: Is this fake?

In the first place the kid is not a virtuoso. In the second place that IS him playing, and considering what most ten-year-old are doing today, he has worked hard and diligently and is pretty good. And for those of you who are envious the word is envy not jealousy. Look it up.

In the (what is it now?) fourth place, what he's playing is not "good" jazz. The difference between good jazz and mediocre "jazz" is, as Mark Twain observed about the right word and the almost right word, the difference between lightening and a lightening bug.

And a comment on how "easy" it is to make bad jazz sound good says to me that the observer doesn't know the difference, no offense.
And in the fifth place, I wish that I had had this kid's ambition at his age. I am not jealous but I am envious.
