rico,I did enjoy the Morton/1900 duel in "The Legend Of 1900"- as "1900" was calm and used his pianistic prowess to speak for him instead of boasting. But, I wonder if Jelly Roll was as arrogant as portrayed, or was it just heightened for dramatic effect ? To me, his music has too much humour and postiive energy for him to have had that kind of nasty personality.
The other sequence that has a child-like glee to itis the scene in which "1900" and his trumpeter friend ride the piano, careening around the ballroom during a storm. Gosh, I'd love to have a big room with a "riding piano" !
