Ben Folds

I have done several post now on piano players, but they have all started out in the 1950's, I should include some that are a little more contemporary. So today a couple videos of Ben Folds. I saw him perform a couple years ago with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.

Here is a Letterman clip where he performs "Landed", a song off his Songs for Silverman album.



Here is a performance of "Brick" with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra. This is an older song, from when he was still had the Ben Folds Five.



This last video of "Cologne" is from his latest album Way to Normal, which I don't even have yet. But this is quite a production, although I have to admit I don't know what the cat woman is about.
