    The piano is a little limiting in expressing these different genres, I feel like. It would be fun to see an entire band doing this and develop the idea to its full potential; Bandeo, anyone?

      ​@@SitoPonclose, but not quite. PMJ is not improvised, and the performers aren't brought out of their comfort zone; I'd rather say I described a jam session instead, if we wanted to give it a definition.

    To respond to all the comments about the genres not coming across, I agree, and I think trying to include the lead melody made all these versions inherently fall into mall hallway or bistro dinner renditions, where he’s trying to fold the bass harmony, midrange chords, and lead melody all into one two-handed part, a true rock n roll version of that song would just be a piano part and leave space for the other instruments. If he had come in with a cool ‘50s style broken dominant 7 chords thing for Billie jeans rock n roll style, and then sang OVER that using a Rolling Stones mcjagger style vocal delivery, we woulda all been like “oh damn, now that’s rock n roll,” but by trying to squeeze that all together, our modern ears lost the rock thread and just heard a mono-genre bluesy-jazzy approach that ties all those elements together. The thing that all those genres have in common when it comes to iconic keys parts and stylistic identifiers is SPACE for the other instruments! I’d love to see a full band version of this where all of “postmodern jukebox” is there coming up with throwback versions as a group on the spot, and we can see their whole process
 now THAT would be supm’

    If you own an acoustic piano and want to be a bit crazy, can you play "any classical piece" in the style of "aphex twin prepared piano?"
    To be fair...you could damage the piano if you are not careful. So make sure it is your piano and not a rental lol.

      Seriously: there are gradations to skill levels in music objectively. Yet there are also a ton of subjective and less difficult things in music that sound amazing, and you probably will not learn even at Juliard.
      Music is fun. The only reason to not play music is if you lack the time to do so, or you just dont enjoy it anymore. It is very difficult to not enjoy the playing of music once you tiptoe past the beginner level. It is like an addiction.

    Good pianist, but very one dimensional. Did not interpret the styles accurately at all. I am pretty sure that he received the songs ahead of time. Probably just didn’t know what style it would be.
