| Marian Petrescu, he has an incredible technique, touch and feel on par with Oscar's. Listen to his rendition of several pieces's. His version of Indiana: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rREB0J_vUZ0&mode=related&search= Comapared to Oscars: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GdPfyXdmnuk His almost swings as hard as Oscar, but not quite, since oscar is master of both time and swing including an incredible grasp of the blues, ragtime, and stride. Notice how he quotes Oscar note for note starting at 3:16. Of course Oscar swings harder, though not faster cuz this guy is super fast: http://youtube.com/watch?v=_kNvWQgkDcs&mode=related&search= Here are some more videos, guys take note cuz he is definetely someone whos time has come and he is for sure one of the greatest that ever lived. http://youtube.com/watch?v=6tXdfbso6vg&mode=related&search= Any thoughts?
