I can't believe nobody even watched this! Look at Slim's hands when he plays piano, they look freaky.

I've not seen him before but it all seemed so effortless.

I think it's the aspect ratio in the 2nd vid. In the 1st one his hands aren't so enlarged....!

 

He came into the 100 Club London one night when the great guitars (Kessel, Byrd and Tal Farlow I think for that tour) were on; Barney Kessel was very glad to see him.

I don't know, looks like his fingers barely fit on the keys,
