    I don't think he's really all that terrible until he plays the solos

      Yeah, I feel like if he actually practiced, he'd be pretty good. He's actually not that terrible, for someone who doesn't play the piano.

      Like, some of his timing isn't actually that bad... it's just the notes that are wrong

      he's actually getting too good for the joke to keep working.
      he's figured out rhythm and theme already

    Jeff it was absolutely hilarious! We all died laughing backstage and his stand up comedy was even better! Overall, Jon was great and very personable and generous. We had a great time and hope to work with him again in the future!

      I worked on an indie movie with him and drove him home when he was done shooting… he spent the whole time asking me about my childhood and it was awesome. I think in my 15 yr film career he’s the only actor I ever asked for a picture with. He’s so cool 😊 I’ve been a fan since he was in/a writer on the Jenny McCarthy show (he was surprised I’d seen it).

    I hear a McCoy Tyner parallel 4ths influence, with a bit of Cecil Taylor atonality thrown in during the highlights.

    just surround yourself with good musicians and hit some staccato notes every once in a while. Get a little carried away and let the "real" band resolve it.
