Legend of 1900: Piano Duel


Part 2:

Part 3:

I saw this movie, (about a guy named 1900 who plays Piano never leaving the ship he was born on) on a plane and this scene stuck out as the best, because I love a snide challenger underestimating his opponent and getting his ass handed to him. woot.

The black dude is Jelly Roll Morton, of New Orleans jazz fame (real person in fictional story), comes aboard to challenge 1900 to a piano duel. 1900 merely toys with the hot-tempered Morton, even going so far as to play a note-for-note version of an original tune Morton just played.
Its stopped before the payoff line which is “Fuck Jazz too”.
