I just found that this terrific movie is available in its entirety on Youtube. With incredible music by Ennio Morricone, it tells the story of a young genius jazz pianist who lives his entire life aboard a trans Atlantic cruiser at the turn of 20th century.He even has a cutting contest with Jelly Roll Morton.

The most famous scene featuring the song Playing Love:

A Mozart Reincarnated, another piano solo from the movie. Kind of like Morricone meets Mozart:

If you're interested in the music(exactly as it is played in the movie) for Playing Love or A Mozart Reincarnated please PM me with your email address. Although the intro for Playing Love in advanced, the part after the intro is quite easy.

I loved this movie, I've seen it a few times. My favorite scene is the piano battle with Jelly Roll Morton! The Crave is a great piece, I was working on it but have put it away until while I work on Christmas music. I play to return to the Crave after new year's.

Anyway, I second the recommendation, if you haven't seen this movie, it's great fun!

The piano duel will make you sweat.
