I find a couple of things interesting about this clip (beyond the fact that Evan is surprisingly articulate in the face of all the attention). His technique still has a lot of "flop" in it - there is a fair amount of wasted motion as he plays. There are some NICE musical aspects of his playing - a particular nice crescendo at one point. The pice he "wrote" is also surprising - it has a definite form to it.
Enjoy!
A friend sent me this link - it's a video of a 20-year old girl born with 4 fingers (2 on each hand) who is playing the piano. The video opens with her playing some Chopin.

This is a performance of "I Surrender All" that I did at Vineville North in July, 2007. This was a jazz improv version - inspired by the thought that this traditional church tune sounds kinda mournful - but the idea of surrendering to Someone who is perfect is pretty cool, and should be cause for celebration!
