When Larry Adler visited Hong Kong in 1999, he performed this song with an "empty piano" too. I still can remember that he nodded his head to the empty chair, looks like Gershwin was really playing piano for him.
YES, at a party in New York, where Adler says they played Rhapsody in Blue as a duet and that Gershwin said 'that goddam thing sounds like I wrote it for you'!!! Cheers TS

Magnifique!!
What a brilliant video. Gershwin's "ghost"accompanying Adler!
I had a couple of Larry Adler albums in high school. He's one of my heroes, for sure.
What a player! Perfect ear and hard worker
Indeed one of the best videos I've seen. Nostalgic.
Simply outstanding!! The very best - congratulations!
oft kopiert but never like Adler
Inegualiabile!
thanks, ES!

Great vid - by the way, is there any background information - where is this?
When? (And where?)
in a similar genre, try NIGEL KENNEDY DUETS WITH HARPO MARX
That's awesome but it's interesting that in this case Adler actually did play with or at least for Gerschwin...
