I saw 14 year old Matt Savage playing piano with his jazz trio on Late Night With Conan last night. Oh wow, can this kid really play!!! You gotta hear him if you haven't already.

That's impressive, for a fourteen year old. Especially one who writes his own music.

Talk about having, a gift for music, this kid is unbelievable. I first heard him about 3 or 4 years ago on the Montel Williams Show. I believe he's from the New England area where I live and have seen a number of articles written about him. I don't think his feet could reach the foot pedals on the piano first time I saw him play. Not sure whether they reach now either?

Actually his playing is impressive for someone of any age. I only wish I could play jazz like that.

Kids like that should be crushed. They've destroyed the dreams of more middle-aged wannabes than uh.... honest critiques.
