Just discovered this by recommendation. I absolutely want to jam like this guy. Absolutely stellar.
Any recent discoveries you guys have?

Probably nothing new around here, but I recently stumbled across The Piano Guys (also their homepage). ThePianoGuys' own Jon Schmidt's performance of his own composition called "All of Me" is nothing short of mind-blowing (it was also the first time I have seen someone play with their forearms  ). The sheet music can be obtained for several bucks on their site.

Didn`t like him. There are those on this forum who I prefer. He was too erratic, disjointed, the opposite of Oscar Peterson. imo . . . . wife didn`t like his stuff either!
