This music is so hard to play. The opposing rhythms, the stride piano technique, the harmonic language. This is really amazing...Way to go, Ezra!

This is an amazing performance and such technique and writing style. It would be incredible even if Ezra weren't my Grandson, I am so proud.

I am blown away. I had no idea he could play like that! The phrasing is so adult. I don't know if you can teach that!

Hi Eric, Ezra's playing is exceptional. He looks completely at home playing the piano. His security with himself and the piano is way ahead of his years. Bravo!!! Ron
