Louis Mazetier & Rossano Sportiello video

Here's a joyful and technically amazing performance by two of the greatest stride pianists nowadays, Louis Mazetier from France and Rossano Sportiello from Italy, recorded on December 16, 2007 at the Alte Kirche in Boswil (Switzerland) as part of the Swing Piano Summit II.

Piano duets are not an easy game to play, and much less in the sonically overpopulated world of stride piano, but Louis and Rossano do succeed in their mission and, in fact, they win by a large amount of goals. One of the multiple pleasures of this video is having the chance to watch Mazetier's left hand striding over more than two octaves in some passages.
