Phineas Newborn Jr.

I've never played the piano in my life, except for when you run your fingers down the keys or when you get under the influence and think(key word) you're being classical.
But someone, who knows A LOT about music especially the piano (not the keys) said that trying to be like him is like Kobe TRYING to be LIKE MIKE. Sorry Kobe. 

''In his prime, he was one of the three greatest jazz pianists of all time, right up there with Bud Powell and Art Tatum,'' said Leonard Feather, a jazz critic for Downbeat magazine and The Los Angeles Times.
-his face has no expression on it what so ever.
-and each hand is doing something totally different.
The wise fellow also told me that you don't see people play with their hands the way Phineas does, which is part of the reason why he is so special. *shoutout to my boy Breeze's(EMLE) dad and Jack Daniels(the drink for gentleman).
