He was an absolute genius... (I've put this on here before but...) he used to play jazz clubs in London in the 80s, and i saw him regularly, even getting to chat/buy him a drink one evening. Watching him play the piano with his hands upside down. or using oranges as 'hands' was phenomenal. He could play pretty much any instrument you care to mention.! He's the fella playing piano at the start of this clip, which also includes some breathtaking dancing. When he died, BBC2 did a 6 hour special on him (!!) which unfortunately I no longer have.
